Council project worker, have a look on different council websites, different projects on the go depending on funding all sorts of things.

Active schools, we have a motivator who gets involved in a selection of primary schools projects, goes on P7 school trip and leads active fun sessions like indoor hockey, basket ball etc, sports based qualification.

Childminding, you can do whatever hours you want, you could have 1 school age child you pick up after school 5 days until 6pm or a 4 yrold you look after 2 afternoons while mum goes to dance classes. Up to you.

You could have a couple of day time regulars and some occasionals, evenings, overnights any combination.

A full time pre school child could be 8am until 6pm with a couple of nursery or playgroup sessions to take them to.
