I work 9.30-2.30, term time only (I know loads of girls who do the same). You can more or less call the shots with them - they told me I wouldn't necessarily get the best jobs because of the hours, but I've been lucky and haven't done anything awful. I started with an easy role to boost my confidence and quickly got back into the swing of office work.
then your Lone Parent Advisor is rubbish! if you work under 16 hours you only get to keep the first �20, the rest will be knocked off your Income Support (assuming you get that).
LPAs should do "better off" calculations to see which jobs would leave you in the best financial situation, taking into account all benefits available.
good luck :o)
