Title says it all really, where do you work and how many hours a week do you work?

I work at a golf club as bar manager and I'm on salary for 40+ hours a week.

I don't! I'm a student! :D (I've always wanted to say that after working in retail for 6 years omg!)


Although I am going to be looking for a part time job of some sort in the New Year! :)

What kind of support worker are you? This girl I used to work with stays with disabled people and takes them out for days out and things like that. She said it's the most rewarding thing these ever done.

pretty much the same. it's just to support people with learning disabilities and mental illness to be independent e.g make sure they've taken their meds and showered, take them to pay their bills (many find it difficult to deal with money or get on a bus alone and we're often the only support system for them which is really sad! one guy can't go out his home without us helping him). today i went out with a guy with autism and we just chatted about life, played darts and ate chips. it's really fun and it's always nice to hear feedback on how you impact on their life.

I love putting the world to rights with my friends down the pub, doing that kind of stuff with those people and helping them get satisfaction from doing daily stuff that most normal people take for granted really must be so rewarding. Playing darts and eating chips sounds like a real load of fun but I just can't imagine how exhausting it actually is from coercing them to do things, helping them shower etc, kudos to you all.

Primark. I just did my last shift today but I still technically work there until next Friday (apparently I've to work next Saturday but handed in my notice on Friday so think they're having me on and trying to make me work for free). My contract was 20 hours, but dropped down to 12 but tended to do a shift during the week too. Have an interview for a new job this week, so hopefully I'll get that, contract hours were 20

I'm only contracted for 12 hours tho, 3 x4 hours shifts so it's easy money xD

Currently working in a pharmacy and am about to finish my Medicines Counter Assistant qualification (nowhere near as good as it sounds). I'm only fixed to work on Saturdays but it's been a very long time since I haven't done at least one other day throughout the week as well.

I work full-time as Digital Manager for my local paper (new promotion yay) and a subeditor - salaried 37.5h p/w, part-time (zero hours contract, usually end up doing between 4 and 20 hours a week, second one kills me) as a graphic designer (hourly shitty salary) and I do a few freelance graphic design/copywriting stuff whenever they crop up (usually earns me between 20 and 100 quid a month depending on who wants me for what!)

Busy busy, but I love working :)
