Which job should I take?

[Pompom42]

I'm qualified to work with children and was doing this job for a long time before I had my youngest. Although working in a nursery the hours are 7am -7pm and my little one would go to a childminder.

I've just started a new job this week at a local nursery but today I was offered another job caring for vulnerable adults in my local area. It's for bank staff and I was told I could pick and choose the hours I want.
I'm thinking this job may fit in better with my children and if I didn't want to work in the holidays I didn't have to.
Is it worth leaving my new nursery job contracted 25 hours per week to jump to a job that is zero contract and no hours as such?
WWYD?

stay in the nursery.

you could have days or even weeks without being needed in the other job, so no weekly income. You could have a good income one week, and none the next.

You'd be daft to take it imo

I wouldn't work bank. At the moment you know how many hours you are going to work, and how much holiday you are entitled to.

How young is your youngest? You wont get the 30 hours funded when they are 3 if you are on a zero hour contract only the universal 15. It would probably affect any working taxcredit too.

If I was you I would look for a tto school or playgroup job instead.

Yes I understand, my eldest is 13 so takes herself to and from school on her own and the youngest is 3 so she goes to a childminder and a pre school.
I get help towards the childminder through tax credits and I don't pay anything for the Pre school as that's funded too.
Thanks for your input you've made my mind up for me, I've already started at the nursery and I do like it but am constantly feeling bad for leaving the 3 year old at the Childminder's until 7pm.
I didn't even consider I wouldn't be eligible for funding for zero hours
