Not cut out for the 9-5? Part-time roles are on the rise, giving jobseekers more ways to flex their work around other commitments. And a part-time role doesn\u2019t always mean a drop in your pay packet. Some part-time roles have huge salaries advertised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each month, around 20,000 <\/span>new part-time roles<\/span><\/a> are listed on our site with an average advertised pro-rata salary of \u00a325,622. With the top part-time salary below averaging at \u00a393,028, these roles far surpass the national average.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ready to go part-time? We\u2019ve got you covered with 20 of the best paying part-time opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Locum Doctor\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a393,028<\/b><\/p>\n

This is definitely not a role you can walk into (unless you\u2019re a doctor that is). You\u2019ll complete at least 5 years at medical school and further training once you graduate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Locums are doctors that are employed to cover shifts in the absence of regular doctors. They need to be adaptable, professional, and able to work in a variety of different teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be highly lucrative with some roles offering an eye-watering \u00a3125 per hour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Locum Dentist\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a390,390<\/b><\/p>\n

Like locum doctors, locum dentists need to be highly qualified. They\u2019ll have completed five years of dental school followed by one or two years of supervised practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These dentists will provide high-quality dental care, adhere to clinical standards, and communicate with patients and colleagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, this is really well paid. We\u2019ve found some jobs paying \u00a3600 per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Coach\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a347,879<\/b><\/p>\n

Life coaching is a relatively new phenomenon. They\u2019re professionals who provide guidance and support to their clients in all matters of their personal and professional lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although there isn\u2019t a legal requirement for life coaches to have specific qualifications, most life coaches are registered and have paid for at least one certification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be successful you\u2019d need to be compassionate, a great listener, and able to adhere to ethical boundaries with clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Part-Time Software Developer\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a347,728<\/b><\/p>\n

Software developers are responsible for designing, building, and maintaining software applications and systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although some people enter software development without a formal qualification, a lot of people have a degree in computer science or a related field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to love learning, as this is an industry that changes a lot, so keeping abreast with the latest developments is really important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Extra<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a347,609<\/b><\/p>\n

Lights, camera, action! Ever wanted to be in a big Hollywood blockbuster? Extras don\u2019t necessarily need to be skilled in acting, they just need to be able to look natural on camera in the background of key scenes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Often, a casting director will have a very clear vision of what the extras need to look like. They could be casting for people of a specific race, gender, age, height, or body shape. You\u2019ll need to be able to commit to long filming days, sometimes in not very nice conditions but you could take home up to \u00a3800 a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Love cars? Private chauffeurs have the opportunity to drive some of the most luxurious cars for their clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need a full, clean UK driving licence, and knowledge of the local area, and you\u2019ll need to build a strong relationship with your client.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you might be working for some very fancy people, you\u2019ll need to look the part and will probably be expected to wear a uniform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Part-Time Electrician<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a343,537<\/b><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t just walk into a job as an electrician. You\u2019ll have to obtain a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnical Services, complete an apprenticeship, and be registered with a professional organisation such as Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA) or the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC). There\u2019s a lot of time and effort involved!<\/span><\/p>\n

Once qualified you might work in either a commercial or a residential setting and could work for a company or as a self-employed sole trader. Working on a part-time basis, some electricians earn up to \u00a3250 per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Know your Gordon Ramsay from your Mary Berry? Private chefs usually work for a wealthy individual or family and are responsible for the planning and preparing of meals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They might need to maintain and upkeep a kitchen garden and will be expected to plan their menu around seasonal ingredients and what they can buy in the local grocery store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a role that could involve some travel, with some private chefs moving around with their clients.\u00a0<\/span>You won\u2019t necessarily be expected to have a specific qualification but you will be expected to have a lot of experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maths Tutor<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a342,506<\/b><\/p>\n

Maths tutors support students at any level of education who need additional help with their learning. You\u2019ll need to know your long division and your trigonometry that\u2019s for sure!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For tutors supporting maths students through primary education, simply a good education in maths will suffice. For tutors teaching at a higher level such as GCSE or A Level, then they will normally have a degree in mathematics or a related subject.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For tutors who are working with students on a one-to-one basis, you\u2019ll also need a DBS check for safeguarding reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Web Designer<\/a><\/h3>\n

Average salary (pro rata): \u00a341,257<\/b><\/p>\n

Similar to software engineers, web designers will come from a computer science background. Their main responsibilities are to make a website such as this one visually appealing, focusing on graphics and layouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, you don\u2019t necessarily need a degree (although a degree in computer science might help) but you will need to have strong skills in HTML, CSS and any languages that the specific employer is looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This could be a great role for anyone who wants to get creative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Music teachers don\u2019t need to be qualified teachers but do need to have a very high level of proficiency in the instrument that they are teaching.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a grade eight at the piano or have worked as a professional guitarist this could be a great part-time job!<\/span><\/p>\n

Night Nurse<\/a><\/h3>\n

They\u2019ll be responsible for monitoring a patient’s vital signs, administering medications and responding to any emergencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
