Is there a database of employers/jobs who are happy to offer term-time only?

Universities are open to term-time only and local councils are too IME. Problem is that the jobs tend to be lower grade so not necessarily very exciting.

my local NHS Trust do term-time only contracts under their 'Flexible Working' and 'Improving Working Lives' initiatives - worth trying your local Trusts

Universities/colleges frequently have term time only jobs for library staff. But - you wouldn't get half terms off, except as your annual leave -and you might have to work on rota the odd evening or at weekends in term. Unis may also have a few term time only admin and catering jobs.

You could try on your local council website. They normally have a number of Jobs that are term time only. If you want to work with children you could try the childrens information service. www.childcarelink.co.uk. (sorry can't do links)

That is an excellent idea Orinoco. I bet no HR dept has thought of that one. Just send your CV it cant do any harm.

Civil Service very flexible for all grades.

My DD doesn't start school until next september but I'm already trying to find a term-time only option. I currently work in a nursery but they already have so many term-time only staff that they don't want any more!!
Therefore I have taken on a work from home business - selling Usborne children's books, to people at home, in schools and nurseries. I've just started to make more of it to get it really flying by next year.
They have fab incentives and their starter pack is currently half price - only £19 for over £100 of books.
I can e-mail you info if you're interested?
I have found it excellent and so flexible I can fit stuff in whenever i have time.
