Have two jobs on the go:

First is my weekend job at the local garage. 60 GBP a week for basically making sure everything runs smoothly and I keep my boss in line too! The basic jobs I do is take the money for the petrol, handling credit card transactions and handling the payment of bills i.e. MOTs, Services etc. I'm als responsible for doing the sheet where we work out how much petrol has been sold and how much money has to be "banked".God only know how he'll cope if I have to leave after the summer. I seem to be the only one who can manage on my own without calling on him to help (or if I do, I just tell him to tell me what to do to sort it).

The second is working in the local hospital wards as a Clinical Support Worker (CSW) or Healthcare assisant as they're known in England. I roughly earn 5 GBP an hour, meaning a normal shift for me is approx. 25 GBP though you earn more if you work nightshift, weekends and public holidays. I will admit though that being a CSW isn't for everyone and whould be consider as a last option or if you want to go into Nursing (hence the reason why I am doing it). Here you put in your availability and then you are phoned when a shift comes up. You can also cancel your availablity at any time if something else comes up.
