What jobs work well with school refuser

[MightyGoldBear]

I'm currently part time in a mental health role set shifts not family friendly outside the house no chance of wfh or flexibility. It can be mentally taxing and high responsibility.
Pay isn't great but I was hoping to work towards having my own counselling business from home working evenings. I can't afford the counselling training currently. So this job at least gives some experience on my c.v but I don't want to be stuck there. I've only been there 4 months so might need to stick it out a while longer to get a reference.

I do have a self employed wfh art business which works great around children but doesn't make enough money.

My middle child we are awaiting assessment but most likely sen/autism. He will frequently refuse to go to school. This can make working really stressful having to re arrange or miss days. I'm most likely sen/autistic too so I find the disruption to my own routine and the stress of going into work/ transition hard so completely relate to my child.

We can survive off my husbands salary but it's tight. I really want to work. But it feels impossible.
My Ideal would be for myself. But failing that some sort of wfh job you could do as and when so I didn't have to let anyone down or have deadline. Quite the unicorn I'm sure.

I feel burnt out and I don't know what direction to take. So many people don't understand how it really is so I'm hoping some advice from people who actually get it.

We have no support or family help. Couldn't afford childcare even if it was even a option(wouldnt tolerate it) so I'd need something term time with the 6 weeks off.
School don't offer wraparound again not sure he would tolerate it.
We are at the start of our ehcp journey so currently not sure how much help school will be.

hi
Just to say I do not have an answer but I am
asking myself the same question.
i know there are remote PA’s maybe that is an option?

I work for one of the government's 'Arms Length Bodies' - there are several , but there are many varied civil servant roles e.g. Care Quality Commission, Natural England etc. Try the civil service jobs website? I've been there a long time (so pre-kids), but they have really good flexible working options and are very understanding and work/life balance focused. Not every department will be as flexible I expect, but they usually have good policies in place. I work from home (part-time). They have been great for me (my DS has severe anxiety and school avoidance, I've had health issues).

I'm a carer for adults with dementia. It overlaps a lot with mental health care. When kids were too young to stay at home alone I worked when dh was home, so weekends, evenings and nights. I usually do the support/activity side of care, so it's very enjoyable work and virtually stress free. It's doing things like making dinner, taking residents to a beach, playing bingo, watching tv with residents, chatting, going for a walk, providing company and reassurance. When you leave work, there is nothing to take home with you, apart from the occasional online training/reading policies. You can either have a fixed set of rotas or some flexibility, especially when doing night shifts. As shifts are usually 12 hours long, you can get a part time job done in one weekend.
