Jobs at 15?

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 tests

I'm finding it hard to get a job at the moment and I'm 17! Your best bet is probably a paper round as people have suggested or a corner shop but some shops won't hire you unless you're 17-18 because you might need to serve alcohol. Worth a try though.

This.

You would definitely not always have it as you need to keep your first aid in date as they expire every 2-3 years. Correct me if I am wrong but you cannot be a practicing lifeguard without a valid first aid qualification.

[Charlottay!]

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.

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.

it's illegal to get proper employment.
try seeing if any resturants/hotels near you need a potwasher.
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.
