14 year old Saturday job?

[Jacky22]

Any tips on a good Saturday job for 14 year old to get? We live in London. Is there a legal age limit and what kind of work can they do? DD no good at getting up in the morning and there are hardly any paper-rounds any more, and we don't know many people with younger kids who need babysitting, or dogs who need walking.

Can't help with the legal bit but I'd suggest looking for Kitchen porter roles?
Or childrens play center
Or assisting at a local stables/ farm

I "worked" at a stables in my early teenage years, instead of pay we got the occasional free rides and they trained us and got us to all pass a qualification
My local pub hires 14/15 year olds as KP's

Most larger companies won't take anyone on under 16. Small local shops may, or washing up/ waitressing in a pub/ restaurant.

DD works in a cafe 4 hours on Saturday and 2 hours on a Sunday, which is the maximum she is legally allowed to work.

It's quite restricted in terms of what hours they can work at that age. DD is super keen to get a job and has asked around but nowhere will take her until she's 16. She does babysitting which pays quite well. Volunteering or getting work experience at a nursery can be a good way to find people to sit for. And some paperrounds aren't early mornings if they're delivering a free paper or magazine. DS did one of those for a while but found it hard work and badly paid (he was allocated an area with large houses which took a long time)
