Are there any jobs you can do one day a week starting after 3pm?

[dashingandcrashing]

I have a sleep disorder and many conditions including ME/CFS. I haven't been able to work at all for the last 4 years but partly because I've been using the little energy I have to try to pursue various diagnoses and treatments. I've now got a dozen or so diagnoses and feel I finally know what's wrong with me so I can finally start using the small amount of usable hours on something like work. But what can you do one day a week in the evening?

I just heard about Match Day jobs in sports stadiums but don't know how likely they are to be evening jobs? I'm in Scotland - my PD seemed to think that evening football matches are more of a thing in England? Do you ever get catering jobs that are just one day a week and in the evening? What's temping like these days? I signed up when I was a teenager one summer but they were useless - just kept telling me to phone back the next day while my friend got given opportunities despite our cvs being more or less identical at that age and there being no difference between us. Probably just the company but it put me off.

Our local council has zero hours jobs doing things like ushering at concert halls etc.

This year the school I've retired from has been paying me about £54 an hour (and they handle all my tax etc) but that's one-one for A level.

Does it have to be paid? Shout (mental health texting service) might be something? Its all online

Wow - that's good money! Is there a way to get a tutoring qualification without doing teacher training?

I'd love to do something like that to be honest - I didn't know you could do texting help but that would suit me perfectly. Shame about the lack of money but if I can't find anything paid then I'd rather do something unpaid than nothing.

Most of the jobs suggested seem.very physical. Do jobs such as proof reading still exist?

Invigilator?

Lots of online tutors don't have formal teaching qualifications. One of the best tutors for DS has been a student, who was very enthusiastic. Having said that, he was doing teacher training.

I did proofreading for a while but it was as part of my translation career. It's hard to say no to the big jobs and still have people offer you the small ones I found but I think I disabled myself with the long hours needed for the long jobs. I have brain fog and ADHD so I'm not as quick as some people.

Proof reading requires a fair amount of training.. OP have you looked at the site I’ve suggested?

Hospitality, shelf-stacking and out of hours cleaning are what come to mind as you are comfortable to do a minimum wage job for the moment. All of those offer shifts that are afternoon/evening ones.

I saw a temp job think it was for 3 months) on the work from home hub website that might be worth a look. It was 100% remote, customer service but all by email. Flexible hours, minimum 5 per week, not sure about training hours availability (e.g. if you have to commit to x hours for training).

I work in a supermarket out of hours. I think the minimum contract tends to be 12hrs pw. We have staff that do that over three shifts 5-9pm or 9pm-12am

Edit to add the post I was replying to, which Mumsnet thought might have been deleted.
Edited to try again. I don't know why it's not working.

I don't know of any such thing as a tutoring qualification. Parents often employ university students, which can have a lot of drawbacks but positives, too.

Once you've started you can get other work by word of mouth, which is why I suggested volunteering first.

You can charge what you like / what the market can bear but be aware that the higher the qualification the more people charge, in my experience. My head of department was charging £100 an hour for A level ten years ago, but that was to wealthy families and he basically didn't want to do it. He said local tutorial colleges were charging £80/hour then so he asked for more.

We do know the syllabus inside out and backwards, but you can prepare for all that. Somewhere like this website has lots of past papers with worked solutions and the examiners' markschemes.

Also, plenty of places advertise for tutors, some I'd trust and many I wouldn't. You could also try searching on the TES (Times Educational Supplement) website for tutoring opportunities, many of which seem to be online.

Online language tutoring - for children or adults? Both dp and I have booked lessons with an online tutor, in our case for holiday conversation.

community caring if you are lucky

Here's the first hit for a school advertising for tutors in the TES.
£40 an hour for qualified teachers, £18 unqualified. Similar jobs might be in school hours, or after school.

I have never had any discipline issues teaching one-one, but a small group in a school where the students don't want to be there might be different.

When my kids were younger I worked one evening a week as a youth support worker.

You don't have to meet exam criteria or be qualified to tutor languages online. Some people just want conversational skills. A long time ago I tutored on First Tutors and it looks like they're still going.

Other than that, maybe a driver for Amazon? You can presumably pick up just the hours you want to. I don't know much about it myself though.

I work Saturday nights in a bar. I do it on top of my full time mon - Fri job but it’s definitely still an option

I am looking for a Personal Assistant for a learning disabled relative. Someone who doesn't do email and texts but needs help with keeping her budget straight, answering letters, maybe a bit of shopping when she is unwell. Really just visiting and noticing what is broken, run out of or needs doing. There must be many older people too who could pay for some help. Would this suit OP? Mind you, how do people who need this sort of service and people who want very few hours flexible work find each other?

You wouldn’t have to do all 5 days of after school club. I worked for an independent company offering after school activity clubs. It was on a self employed basis, paid for 3 hours at minimum wage. Each class was an hour, with an hour either end for prep, washing up and travel. Each day was at a different school, so I could do as many days as suited me, with others doing their own schools. Could be an option?

Assuming you can drive and like cats: teatime cat (or small pet) visits. Offering to do weekend shifts might be very attractive to someone who has set up a business and wants to expand but have a bit of time off. The company I use have people who work odd shifts.

I’d suggest dog walking but that’s a bit more physical.

Are we still allowed zero hour contracts or are they banned now?

people with disabilities or students really benefit from these kind of contracts.

if you can, try and find rework through an agency on a shift to shift basis?

Zero hours contracts are still legal.New Employee Rights Bill seeks to restrict them not ban them.

Can you drive? What about delivering for Amazon or Evri for example? It seems their drivers are basically self employed and just sign up for shifts when they want them

If driving is an option, see whether Wiltshire Farm Foods will offer a single day. It’s quite a nice version of delivery driving according to someone I know, and they usually deliver meals weekly to buyers so they might offer a weekly option. The person I know quite enjoyed dropping off to their usually elderly clientele. But I would have thought it would be too physical tbh.
