University library- if you live in a university town/ city.

Not sure of the exact timing of the shifts for the security team at our office, but there's a small number of them in reception, and other parts of the building, 24/7. Most of them have been there donkeys years, so I assume they are reasonably well treated.

YourWildAmberSloth · 05/12/2024 21:26

Call centres - banks, local authorities, helplines etc.

Royal Mail have jobs where you can choose which shifts you want to work.

Most other shift work jobs have a rotating roster which will require you to do earlies and/or nights as well.

Do you have any theatres or cinemas near you? Front of House, costume department are nice jobs that I've done in the past.

Ironing at home can be done any time

I'm not entirely sure 111 or a caring environment are what the OP wants...

Show quote history

111 is a really intense job, my friend worked for them and the hours are crazy an the job itself is extremely intense, the training and being watched while taking calls isnt for the lighthearted, you have to really want an have the love an interest to do 111 calls ❤️

Chicheguevara · 05/12/2024 20:56

Call handler jobs for emergency services or those care lines for folks with the emergency bracelets/necklaces. I don’t know if that’s your thing but the jobs are out there.

Mmmcheese89 · 05/12/2024 20:56

Nhs 111 call handler. And if you're good enough some trusts eventually let you work from home.

Some admin jobs in the nhs, especially a&e, might offer these hours. Could try nhs 111 as a call operator

I do hope, if (or when) the time comes, some kind person will be happy to wipe your bum
How nastily dismissive those two words are

Sorry I didn't mean to cause offence - care is incredible and hats off but I couldn't do it. I know it's more than bums I was being light hearted.

To the poster who said walking the streets I think I know what you mean but I look like Mr blobby.

Thank you all for the suggestions xx

I used to think the same about care but i took a care job in the past, tbh wiping bums is 1 of the jobs you prob do the least and also if you have to do those kinda things its usually in a pair, as you have to move the person...you can usually agree on the wiping etc, do the job together but you could be disposing of the contents and other things, its a very rewarding job. Also...there are sit calls where you dont do anything apart from keep them company or domestic calls where you clean their home an make lunch or something, theres alot more to care than people realise xxxx

GrumpyOldCrone · 05/12/2024 20:49

If you could push it a little bit later (9pm - 3am) you could be a DJ. It does help if you know people though.

I used to work at a hotel as a meeting an team member, setting up for events, weddings etc, serving the food, clearing up after etc, that was a nice job role tbf and i used to start around 6 but it could go on til about 2am, but prob 1 of the nicest kind of jobs for those hours otherwise its kinda factory work, stocking shelves etc, which arent bad either but depends on what youd prefer x

Taking offence and being offensive in the same post Confused

Depending on the size of the town/city you are in op but 24 hour retail may be a good idea to look at. Even stores that are open till mid evening need shelves stocked.

Serencwtch · 05/12/2024 20:25
