Also found the employment agencies not much use. All they could do is help me with my resume, which I did not need at all. They had the same jobs that I could search for online.

Part-time is hard. The one independent recruitment agency I spoke to (and had to speak to direct at they don't advertise they only go off their own books), made a big thing of understanding part-time and the restrictions of childcare, blah blah. Well have not heard from them in 2 years. I think it is a matter of really keeping an eye on the job ads and job sites, along with cold calling.
