The minimum age for a Saturday job is 13 but, at 13 or 14 years of age, you can only work for a maximum of 5 hours on a Saturday. (At 15 years of age, and until the official school leaving date for 16 year olds, the maximum permitted number of hours on a Saturday is 8). You can't work before 0700 or after 1900.

If you also work during the week (e.g. with a paper round), the total number of hours you work over the whole week can't exceed 12 hours. Whenever you work, you must have a permit issued by your local authority. (This can be withdrawn if your school work seems to be suffering).

Where to get a Saturday job in Norwich? Most big chain stores don't employ school-age Saturday staff. You probably need to check out independent traders. Start by asking around the stallholders on the market, then check around other smaller shops. (Although it's part of a chain, it might be worth asking at shop, just around the corner from the market, on the main shopping street, which sells remaindered books, art materials, etc. - I'm sorry I can't remember it's name but I know that they employ lots of part-time staff). Otherwise, try phoning round some of the hairdressing salons in Norwich. They might need someone to sweep up and make coffee on Saturdays.

most employers such as supermarkets won't employ anyone under 13 and generally prefer to employ those 16 and older because they can do longer shifts.
