Local government. 30 hours a week. 7-2 x 2 days and 7-4.30 x 2 days. Off on Fridays.

Retail - whenever they need me to, although I don't have kids and want to progress. Finding a full time position was almost impossible.

AlphaBites · 20/06/2019 18:58

M-F 9 til 3, 10 mins from home and school.

I'm bored as fuck there, quite often with nothing to do but it is close by and excellent pay, so I stay put.

Ffsnosexallowed · 20/06/2019 18:59

Monday, Tues, Thursday Friday, 8.30-4.30. I'll often swap time about though, this week I was in for about 6 hours on Wednesday, so left early on Tuesday and will leave early tomorrow

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 20/06/2019 19:00

I work Tuesday to Friday but hours change through the year ( usually 8:30-4:30) and about 6 Saturdays across the year but I swap off a weekday if I do the weekend shift.

Mon, Tues 8.30-2 plus an hour or so after the kids have gone to bed
Wed 9-5 in the office (DH WFH)

It's .85 FTE. I can be around for some afternoon activities, help with the school walking bus one morning a week and can usually sneak in a sports day or nativity. Kids go to breakfast club. We have a mothers help on wed and thurs so the kids don't go to after school club.

HeyMicky · 20/06/2019 19:00

Meant to say I'm in marketing - I negotiated this from full time when DD1 started school

I do supply teaching and usually work 3 - 4 days a week...last week I did 5 days and was knackered by the end of Friday! It works for me though, no planning and finish at 3.30.

Childminder- I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 8 am to 5.45, but most evenings I finish work and go straight into driving kids to football and swimming clubs with my own and other (including childminded) children. Those extend to weekends too, so pretty busy!
