Children must be at least 13 years of age before they are allowed to begin work, and will require a licence until the last Friday in June of the academic year in which they become 16 years of age.

Some examples of the part time jobs that children can complete are:

  • agricultural or horticultural work
  • newspaper delivery round
  • shop work (including shelf stacking)
  • hairdressing salons
  • office work
  •  riding stables
  • domestic work in hotels and other buildings offering accommodation
  • café work such as waiting tables. 

 Babysitting for friends and neighbours is not classed as employment.
