I am a fourteen year old looking for work somewhere in south wales / newport i am able to work:

I'm looking for permanant work on these days and would be able to work 3 fridays a month and 3 sundays a month. Do you know anyone who's hiring people for work if you do can you email me please thank you.

You're not legally allowed to work though (on a paid wage) until your 16 so I don't think you'd be able to find work.... unless I'm wrong....

Apart from doing a paper round, walking dogs. gardening, car washing..... but don't know how you're going to do the Saturday "pm" hours hun!

I would check it out, but I worked at weekends when I was 14yrs. There is a rule but I'm sure as long as you are 14 you can work. I worked in the restaurant trade and as far as I am concerned kids should work , they appreciate money more, I know I did as there wasn't much spare cash going aound and I'm going back 35 years.

ur not gonna find permanant jobs at ur age love.

but im currently working for DFS sofas as a doc filler ( casual worker) they pay �45 per day fix rate (no matter how many hours u do) and its a weekend job.. .MAINY.

the only thing is its a on call job. fantastic for students with busy schedules and u can very comfortably say no to them if ur busy one day without fear of getting sacked.

they nomally call bank holiday weekends. holidays ( half term, xmas, easter etc) and just random other weekends too.

its a EAAASSYYYY PEEEAAASSSYY job that u can learn to do in an hour max. ...

hope this helps..

ive been working there since march and i love it.

But the law's there for a reason. Regulations were brought in to stop youngsters from being exploited.
I also can't agree with you that children SHOULD work, apart from helping out at home. They have enough to do, with their school work, and once a childhood's gone - it's gone. Plenty of time for hard work when they're old enough.

[CheekyChops]

You can't work the hours you are suggesting... this is what the law says:

14 year olds
There are a lot of rules that control working hours of children, but the basic ones are:

- during term time, you can only work for two hours on weekdays and Sundays and for five hours on Saturdays

- during a school holiday, you can work for up to five hours on a week day or a Saturday and no more than two hours on a Sunday

- you cannot work before 7 am or after 7 pm

I would also be very careful if anyone does contact you in relation to this advert....there are lots of very bad and mad people around who will happily take advantage of you! Dont arrange to meet anyone! My daughter is 15 and NO WAY would I let her advertise herself like this. Please be very careful!

I agree with angiebaby. Be very careful. My daughter had part time work when she was 14 but I kept a very careful watch on her.
I'm a 61 year old male, my hometown is Newport, and it can be as nasty as anywhere else. It can also be very nice.
I admire you though for trying.
