Hello! Mumsnet Jobs team here. We've noticed this thread is fairly old now, and some of the information is out of date. We've put together this article of advice, tips and tricks to finding a job that will allow you to work within school hours. We hope it's helpful!

Admin in an office. 9:30 -2:30. Not exactly rocket science or particularly well paid but it's perfect while the dc are little.

Agh OP I’m wondering the very same thing. I’m a teacher which I thought would be good for when I had kids. Ha! I’m considering doing TA/learning support which would be actual school hours. Would that be an option?

School admin, I do term time plus five inset days.

Catering assistant 10 till 2 moday till Fri

There's things I'd like to do but are just not compatible with having small children.

Office admin 9.30-2.30pm, three days a week. In a child related industry.

Supermarket. 9.30 - 2.30. 3 days a week and every Sunday.
They've been v flexible. Before the dcs started school I worked evenings. Swapping to school hours a month after my youngest dc started reception.

Now my youngest is in juniors. I am looking forward to finding something new I want to do in a few years time 🤞

I teach. My school (secondary) is next to my DS' primary school and his primary school finish later than us. They go to breakfast club in the morning and after school club a few times a week. I usually manage to do breakfast club/pick ups a few times a week.

I'm a science technician in a secondary school. Term time only but 8.30-4.30. There are part timers as well, though, within school hours.

How do you get into a TA type role? Does it require volunteer experience?

Care work. 7am until two as dp takes the kids to school. But I know other carers who work 9-3 To fit around the school run

School office admin. 20 hours over 3 days term time only, plus 2 weeks in the summer holidays.

I don't work inset days, though my school inset days are not always the same as my kids school.
I do
8-3
8-3
9-3

DH can usually do the school run on my 8am start days. Or they go to breakfast club. I do all pick ups as kids school finishes 10 mins later than me and that just enough time to get here from my school.

Pre school assistant, 9-3pm term time only, I am very lucky :-)

Mamabear I was interested in care work but they just want you to work shifts and I need it to be set hours but it seems that you maybe have to be doing it for a while before you can do that?

Bookkeeper 930 while 3. There to pick up and drop off but use holiday childcare

Not quite school hours but 8.30-2, DD goes to breakfast club. I also do one long day a week when DH does pick up. I walked it back from a full time role

Sorry - meant to say digital marketing.

It depends if you work in a care home or you work in the community. I can't do care homes as most of them wanted 12 hour shifts. But home to home care is a lot more flexible x

Cover supervisor in a local Comp. Was previously teaching with a 1.5hr commute each way. Taken a while to find my feet but can drop kids off and pick them up from school plus get the holidays.

Early Years Practitioner on supply. Some days I do 8-3.40, 8.15-11.45/12.15-3.45. Sometime do 10-2pm. It just depends on what I am needed for.

mamabear yeah it is home care I was after

I don't, but DH does. Web app development. He can do a lot at home, when kids around, too.
