Second job

Hi, was seeking some advice really.
Finally at 39 I feel I have some direction and confidence and would like to save for a mortgage. I have a good job which covers rent, bills etc. but it's just not quite enough to save what I need. I would like a second job, maybe an extra 10 hours a week. Aside from bar work (which I do really enjoy) could anyone suggest other options to me at all? I live in a medium size town with no shopping scene as such but outside a city. I would be so grateful for your thoughts and suggestions.

I do an evening HCA job alongside my full time job.

Tutoring? Or specialist tuition if you’re good at something like an instrument, unusual sport, a second native language.

Babysitting ... through something like Sitters UK? Can be very well paid and you might strike lucky with a child that just sleeps through Grin.

Thank you for your suggestions! Just to add I should say I can't drive so that limits me. However I have no children and a 9-5 job so any time outside of work is free to use.

Are there any opportunities for overtime/freelance with your existing employer? (Maybe with a different department?)

It is a possibility in future but not currently as we are somewhat restructuring. I'd always ask if there was an opportunity though. There is an Aldi and Tesco nearby. I thought even dog walking. I am a grafter so would do most jobs.
