Earning extra money - 2 free days during school hours

Need some help thinking of what I can do!

I work 3 days a week for the NHS. I'm an allied health professional (non nurse/doctor/HCA) so my skills aren't necessarily transferable to other areas of the NHS and I can't see any bank work within my trust for my sort of role.

I need some extra income and am looking to work the other 2 days a week but need to be able to do school drop off/pick up, so realistically could only work 9.30-2.30 on those days.

Any ideas of what I could do? I was wondering if zero hours contracts or bank work would be better so I could take time off during the school holidays without it being too tricky, but still not sure what work I could actually do!

And before it is suggested there are no additional hours going at work so that's not a possibility.

Look at schools and universities. I work term time only in a university, 20 hours a week. I was able to choose my own hours around school runs.

Housekeeping in a pub/hotel
Just thought as the pub I run has a housekeeper who starts 9am to clean the bar/restaurant/toilets, then at 10:30 goes upstairs to clean some of the four bedrooms, 10:30 is our check out time. . Check in for places is usually 3 so shouldn’t be a problem for school pick up. And within school hours.

Locum agencies.
Very easy to Google them.

Some professions are desperate, you can work remotely and dictate your own hours

@user1471462115 the only locum agencies I can find on google are ones for doctors/nurses. Are they the ones you meant?

I do housekeeping in a local hotel. Hotels are still fairly desperate at the moment so are willing to be flexible on hours. On the upside I'm losing a kilo a week as it's quite physical :)

Search for your own profession locum agency

Try Maxxima or Allied Health Professionals.

Cafe or hospitality. Housekeeping would fit nicely in that window. We hire housekeepers 9:30-2:30,
