Part time jobs, term time only- Is it working in a school, or nothing?!

Hi,

I've been out of work for over 10 years now (am 31) I had my DD at 22 and I decided to be a sahm....but not for this long! Confused

I have confidence issues and my cv is unimpressive to say the least.

My dp earns good money and the money I would earn would be more pocket money, which is fine. Obviously I'd love a big chunky pay packet Grin but am being realistic with my employment gap and probably slightly outdated qualifications.

We do need the extra money, but also it would be good for my self confidence \belief.

Any thoughts on what I could do? My DD has certain difficulties, which is why I would only work term time ideally (that's another, long story)

TIA

9:30 - 2:30? No way. My dad was a postie until recently and he started sorting at 5am. There was always tremendous pressure to deliver quickly as they weren't paid beyond the end of the shift. Dreadful employers cutting contracted hours but demanded longer hours worked with unpaid holiday flexibility.

I teach baby swimming. Ace job, great hourly rate, term time only (and cheap swimming for my kids!) I needed to invest in my training but had repaid that in 3 months, been doing it 3 years now...

Sorry, I've just noticed that a couple of people asked what the job was. I sold products from home. I looked into various products before choosing that one. I also looked into a cleaning business that you run for yourself, home based sales jobs and running my own craft stall but the one I chose suited me. Our circumstances changed and I was able to go back to work part time but i'd definitely recommend a stay at home job for those that don't have childcare or just want some pocket money.
