I have been searching for a job now for ages and am having no luck at all.
Today I have found 1 job for 15 hours, as a clerical/admin assistant and a lunch time supervisor job (a job i said i would never do) for 6.5 hours a week.
With the first one for 15 hours, I would need an hours before school childcare for 3 kids, which would cost roughly £36 a week, but as i'd only be working 15 hours, I would not be entitled to any WTC so would actually only be £10 a week better off if I factored in travel aswell but i'd be in the door, back in the workplace wouldn't I.
The lunch time supervisor one is slightly different in that I wouldn't need childcare and would still get a certain amount of Income support, but would again only be about £10 a week better off.
I would really really (x 100) like the admin one as obviously that could lead to more hours (1 more hour would be fab) , but I doubt i stand much chance as i have no admin experiance at all, although would be more than willing to do any required training. It doesn't actually say that they want someone experianced, just says that the duties are collecting cash, and paperwork.
So whats the thoughts, should I apply ??

Is it worth taking a job for less than 16 hours, just to get back on into work ???
