Evening work from home jobs?

i currently work part time and recently found out I’ve been paying too little tax and now my monthly salary is around £200 less than I was used to. I went down to part time after returning from maternity leave last year so am used to a full wage prior to mat leave. My DH works full time and covers the majority of the household bills. However with the COL rises this year our mortgage, childcare, bills, food etc has gone up and really feeling the pinch being £200 less off each month.

Is there anything I can do in the evenings that might help me top up my wage? I’m IT literate and have excellent CS skills. Not shy of work, like to be busy and would like to make the most of those hours after I put DC to bed.

Please no judgment, we are a hardworking family on normal wages trying to navigate this COL crisis like everyone else. Not entitled to UC, DH earns too much apparently (£14p/h). Thank you

This is probably too vague to be very helpful but working for a US company could fit those hours. I was recently talking to an employer who wanted someone available early to late evening UK time.

CS skills? What's your current job?

If your partner is home to look after the kids at that time you'd probably have more luck with bar, supermarket or warehouse work. Especially this time of year with seasonal work.

Everyone and her dog is after convenient/flexible WFH jobs, but that's rare unless you have a specific in demand skillset - employers want staff to meet their needs.

I think that's probably quite unusual. I wfh, the rest of my team is in California so they're more than happy if I choose to work late and a few meetings have to be late for me. But that's an evolved situation, they wouldn't have deliberately hired someone in the U.K.

Perhaps a U.K. company which does real time, always-on stuff so they need IT/techy people round the clock? No idea how you find them!
