The Christmas season is usually the busiest time of year for shops and restaurants and a time when businesses are likely to take on additional staff. This can create a good opportunity for a young person to secure their first job, learn new skills and earn money.

Children need to be at least 13 years old to work part-time, unless they work in TV, film, theatre or modelling and employers need to apply for a child employment licence if they want to employ a child of school age (between 13-16).
