Need a tech job that fits around school holidays

I have programming and project management skills, and need a job (probably as a remote worked realistically) that I can fit around school terms. Any ideas, anyone? I'm aware this is quite niche.

Hmmm ... around where I am there are tons of agencies that lend out IT staff (Adecco & Co.). Never used them, personally.

To be very honest: I wouldn't like the idea of a project team member permanently working off-site, personally (senior IT project delivery manager here; I manage a portfolio of software development and systems integration projects). Reason: stakeholder relationships. Could you do partial on-site work? Might make things a lot easier.

I am working remotely as a programmer at the moment which has been fine as the company has quite a few remote workers. Unfortunately my childcare plan has fallen apart so I'm finishing this week and won't be available again until the end of the summer holidays. I used childcare vouchers across the year paid directly to school to accrue enough to cover 5 weeks of the summer holiday in holiday club, then found out too late it wasn't running for most of the holiday so had to resign to cover childcare.

There were other factors behind resigning regarding working with spouse, but did that to death previously...
