where do you look for a part time job?

Last year I lost my job, I was bullied badly by the two people I ran the business with I had no choice but to leave. To say it has knocked my confidence is an understatement.
I need to work, my family needs the income. My previous job was admin/property manager/office manager role.
I was at my previous job for 12 years, I feel out of the loop. I dont know where to start!

Where do people look for a new job? Help!

Try 2to3days.com and timewise.com. Think they have a range of roles, not sure about the specific ones you’re after.

My first thought is poor you, hell is other people. Well done for getting out and you will find your self-esteem and self-confidence bubble back once you find a professional environment where managers want to get the best out of the team.

Well... have you got a good LinkedIn profile and connected with everyone ypu can think of? Have you written a kick-ass CV and shown it to a few friendly people who will give you honest feedback?

Next thing is to look around locally for good employers. Big companies often find it easier to support flexible and part time working, and often have more sophisticated HR teams plus the IT to cope with wfh. Register with multiple job agents and set up searches on Indeed and LinkedIn, so you get fed relevant ads.

What kind of part-time are you looking for? Are you thinking school hours, or working 5 days compressed into 4? Could you be FT if you could do some hours wfh at the weekend/evenings rather than sat at a desk in an office 9 to 5.30pm?

It is worth reading between the lines of a job ad for a FT job to see if there's an angle where you can see the job being possible PT. Then go to the interview and THEN ask about PT or flexible working. You've nothing to lose and interview experience is good. You can turn down jobs, if you're offered ones that don't really work for you.

Thanks for all the info, I didnt particularly enjoy the job i did before and was told on repeat I wasnt very good at it. So im not sure where to look really because my confidence is at all time low.
I have had a bash at a CV, so this is the first hurdle out the way.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Saw this company on Linked In and thought of you - sorry I can’t personally recommend as I haven’t used them, but it looks like they can help you search for working patterns that work for you:

Try your local Council or NHS trust. A wide range of roles available.
