I posted a few suggestions in answer to a similar question here:

As I indicated in that post, it's extremely unlikely that you'll see any jobs advertised. You're going to have to spend a lot of time phoning or visiting potential employers. Good luck!

PS: Don't forget your parents, relatives and neighbours as a potential source of earned income. For example, if you could just find a few people who each need their car cleaned once per week, it would give you a small, but useful, regular source of income. (Try to think of similar jobs which you might be able to do).

Could you do jobs for your parents and earn money from them for doing it? Household chores, mowing the lawn etc then it wouldn't feel like you're scrounging off them.
You could also do things like babysitting, dog walking etc for people nearby, maybe put a notice up in a local shop window.
I worked in Sainsbury's after school when i was 15 so you could wait and do that.

my daughter worked on a market card stall from being aged 13 after school, but that would depend on there being a local market within easy travelling distance, after that she went on to a delicatessan stall, as a saturday job,but that again depends on how accessable that would be to you. Obviously dont know where you are situated, but are there any local shops that could give you a satutrday job?
