Would you take this job?

I got a surprise job offer yesterday after making inquiries about vacancies.

DH works long, unpredictable hours. Both children have ASD and our youngest is starting school and I can see that being tricky. I currently don't work.

The pros
Fits around school hours
It's PT which is what I want
Term time only.

The cons
Pay isn't great by any means
It's not going to stretch me mentally at all (I don't mean that in a boastful way, I had a professional job for 13 years before children and was good at what I did)

We don't need me to work. But I want to contribute and feel like I'll go mad at home, and jobs with these hours don't grow on trees

Thoughts very gratefully received.

Part time and term time - take it. Like you say these jobs don't grow on trees. If it doesn't work out you can always leave. Good luck.
