Your 9-2 job

I do 8.35-1.35 x 3 days a week term time as a TA. I absolutely love it and rarely have childcare costs.

It’s very poorly paid but given that I have four DC I would need to earn over £45K to be better off once tax/Nat insurance and childcare (esp holiday clubs) were taken into account.

I’ve just advertised a 25hrs a week, flexible working pattern (so could be 9-2), university administrator role.
Not great pay, circa £26k full time but good benefits. Hybrid available.

I work school-friendly hours in administration at a university. I’m not student-facing so was more or less able to choose my hours - I work 50% over 3 days.

hi there i’m sorry to hear you’ve been made redundant. I’m currently delivering parcels a few hours each day. Not the best money but it gets me out the house and my steps per day have been fab! It’s flexible which is the main thing for me. i work average 3-4 hours per day over 5-6 days and earn around £1000 per month. i can start any time between 8.30- 11am. it’s double time on a sunday that’s why i’ll work a few hours then sometimes.

I work 9-3 4 days a week.

It’s a weirdly specific role so again quite outing but I work for an organisation similar to a professional membership body. My role is quite varied but would fall under the broad title of ‘communications’ I guess - some marketing, some PR, research and lots of writing (case studies, white papers, sector updates etc).

I was doing the writing for them as a freelancer and was then offered a permanent role and asked what hours would suit. It’s changed a few times and they are very flexible. There are times when I need to do more though, I worked till 10 this evening for example, once DC was in bed.

(I always cringe slightly mentioning writing for a job on here as am aware that my posts are probably littered with errors - the way I post on MN is not reflective of the way I write professionally!)

There's an agency called ten to two you can try they have lots of different levels if jobs

I work 9-3 Monday to Friday, term time only. I'm a learning support assistant in a primary school.

The pay is shit - £16700 a year which equates to around £1300 a month before tax and not much more than minimum wage.

The perks are that it's very rewarding, the children are the best part of the job. You also get the school holidays off as well as evenings and weekends so child are costs are next to nothing. The days get busy but you don't bring additional work home with you to complete, when you're finished for the day you are finished.

I work 9.30-3 with a half hour for lunch, remotely, for a university, managing data.

I work in the voluntary sector and at our organisation we are very flexible over hours and days, as long as it’s consistent, we also have others who prefer to work as and when - and that can work for both parties
