"Very" part time work

[stephec]

How about supermarket delivery driver or school minibus driver?

Shh, don't tell everyone, supermarket deliveries is my plan in about five years time and I don't want all the jobs full before I get a chance.

I did a year driving for Iceland. My advice is try a different supermarket.
I now do twenty hours a week driving a minibus for a school. I take children to school in the morning and then home in the afternoon.
The only downside is the early start. On the plus side is lots of holidays.

I know someone who does thirty hours for Tesco, he loves it and wants more, maximum of four deliveries an hour and no tracker.

Keep an eye on parish councils. Warden/ handy man jobs typically come in around 10hrs P/W.

Yes that sort of thing would work , I am wondering if I'd get laughed at wanting so few hours though.

No, you won't be laughed at, not at all.
After a couple of days, though, you will be asked to do extra hours ... a lot of them .... you will be asked continuously
Same goes for delivery, retail, hospitality, cleaning jobs: brace yourself
The third sector offers those kind of part-time contracts you are looking for.
The NHS does too: I have a colleague in her 70s that only does 4 hours on a Saturday and 4 on a Sunday (cleaning).

There'll be plenty of cleaning jobs at around 10 hours a week but you're probably looking at 6am-8am Monday to Friday

I'm very out of touch with the job market and it looks like there's more opportunities than I expected for a few hours work.
I would find it hard to say no to extra hours even though it's last thing I'd want , I would have to toughen up my approach to that .

That would do if I found something local plenty used to getting up early.
