SO I am just after some suggestions for a career and I'd like to retrain but I just don't know what as.
I absolutely ADORE babies and would love to work with them.
My dream job in the world would to be a midwife but I cannot afford to go to university again (in the in Uk and already a postgrad).
I am a single mum and need to work part time/non weekends!
After working in insurance for nearly and decade I can't face another admin/call Center job although the thought of a job in a school office etc I don't mind.

Any ideas from limited list 🙈

Don’t know if this might be any use:

But have a look around other threads on this board - perhaps something else might spring out to you.

Working in a private nursery? Sometimes there are apprenticeships available in this field, or FE qualifications (not as £££ as uni!).

If you have breastfed, you could volunteer in breastfeeding support and maybe get a paid job eventually with the organisation?
