Does anyone know of any stores that have part time jobs for 15 year olds (16 in just over 3 month)? I need the money for a new computer and it would help pass the time at weekends.

You can try I guess, but you have more of a chance of winning the lottery.
concentrate on your GCSE's instead
Not many people hire at 15 which is annoying for me to. My friend has a job of handing out leaflets. Id rather have no money then be a little delivery boy personally. Only decent paying (possibly) at this age would be self-employment but it depends if you have the skill and dedication in order to do so.
just do a paper round for a wee while. it's hard to get a job atm.
when I did a paper round I got £36 a week, and for your age that's good.
paper round is a good start.
You won't get a proper job at 15 because of the law. Just get a paper round for 3 months.
if waking up at 6am doesn't appeal to you, then ask at a few pubs and restaurants to see if they need someone to wash dishes.
Do you have your NIN? If not..paper round is your option.
i got hired at 15 by a catering company that does the food at stoke city football ground.
had to fill in some stupid form to the council cause of my age though.
£25 a match i get paid so yeah try your football ground. they always hire
You can work as a waiter or work in a restaurant or pub kitchen washing dishes, plenty of people in my year do that and a lot of them are only 15. There may be variations in the law depending where you are though.
most places wont let you if you aren't 16. however if you have your NI number now someone might employ you.
What I have is a lifeguard qualification, and once you get it, you'll always have it.
From there you can get a few jobs doing shifts as a lifeguard which is ok :)
I'm 13, & I have a job at a uni-sex hairdressers & beauty salon. I get paid £4 an hour, so working once a week, on a Saturday from 9-3, I get £25. So I get about £100 a month which is enough for me! But I agree with everyone else, for a 15 year old guy, a paper round is the best your probably going to get.
:)
I was a pot wash at subway when I was 15
once u have it you dont always have it. you get it for 2yrs then u have to renew it. most places also make u take training and competency testsQuote:

the NPLQ which is the english lifeguard qualification requires you to complete enough hrs of training over two years which will include first aid. to pass the NPLQ you have to do first aid as part of it.
then on top of that you have your pool regulations which could require you to attend training once a month and if you dont you are deemed unfit for work.
it's illegal to get proper employment.Quote:

awful pay, hurrendous hours, hard work.
but it's money, experience, and caan be quite fun.
It's not at all legal, my friend got a job with WH Smiths when he was 15 after doing work experience with them. He needed a work permit from the council, the hours were bad and the pay wasn't great but it was still a job! Ask the people you did work experience with (if you've done it) if they need any part time assistance and look into under 16 work permits from your local council.
I do a paperound and get 16.50 a week i think its alright in school days because i get up early, but in school holidays it takes the buiscuit
but most people in my year have a weekend job at a pub washing pots which i would never do, and why would you want to pass time at weekends your crazai :)
Class collecting, pot washing?
I know grocery stores here hire around 15. Maybe wait til 16 with a better chance.
grocery store's loving it!!
Hmm, well was I was 14 I did my FIFA refereeing qualification, for 1 hour running/ jogging around with 12 year olds I got £12-20 + traveling expenses which my dad let me keep and they are still looking for loads more refs, for traveling 10 minutes about 5 miles that was another 3 quid.
so for like 80-90 minutes work I got £15 - £23 which for my age was great seeing as I could get 2 on a saturday and 2 on sunday if I was lucky.

I'm turning 16 in 3 months too :)
But anyway, you should be careful with getting a job at 15, because you don't qualify for the minimum wage thing, so you might end up doing more than you're being paid for.
My friend got offered a Saturday job at the opticians she went to for her work experience, so if you've yet to do your work experience, you could try working really hard and seeing if they offer you a job or even pay you. My friend only got it because they put 'WOW.' on her report.
It might just be worth waiting those 3 months so you know you're gonna get paid the minimum amount. I was going to apply for a weekend job at my local pizza hut but they don't accept people under 16 so I have to wait. I'm really excited about turning 16 though, cause it means I can buy everyone presents for Christmas with my own hard earned money, and I can buy things without asking for money.
:).
my friend is a waitress shes 16 so u might get away with being a waiter/waitress
Start applying end of September for Christmas staff.
Local restaurants/pubs (not serving alcohol, food) will hire under 16's. Other than that its a paper round which is more work that its worth but if you really want the money, go for it!
I was hired at 15, but this was because I did a paper round at the shop I work in and then i got unreliable on the paper round because i was always busy so they gave me a part time job in the shop. Just try your local newsagents or local convenience store!
do a few paper rounds
