Guys my lovely wife needs to get working again, she used to be a PA to directors at an investment bank in the city leaving in 2006 when she came to live with me, she has 4 languages 2 fluent and is an admin demon but on the Wirral I just cannot work out the best way to get her a suitable (none min wage) position.
Her last work was doing admin at my company 2006 to 2009, then she was a voluntary manager at the local kids hospice but since 2011 she has been a mum to our twins.

Any ideas how to get her out there, websites, agencies or whatever I am stumped.

Cheers

She has a degree in something political (as she can argue for England) but once you hit the big age numbers its less of an issue - she is a trained florist as well but all those jobs are min wage in freezing shops.
Will try the uni and we have unilever / port sunlight nearby so I am sure we can sort something.
"Sending her back to work" well it was "once the kids start school" then another excuse so now its January 18 or I am withdrawing her nookie rights which she may see as a bonus.

I *may* need someone super organised in that part of the world early in the new year... mix of admin, PA, office management. Current PA is doing a sterling job so would be adding capacity (not replacing).
That would be of interest to her I am sure as I think the most daunting thing for her is to get "out there" and at least an interview would be a soft start.
When I was in ecommerce she filled in from CS to accounts to packing to shelf stacking - a very handy sub to have on the bench at the time but now we have the agency she cannot really add much (same with me if truth be told)

Short skirt, street corner.

Up to £100 p/h depending on looks/size.

Saves you a job too if shes a munter.
Going rate around Islington in Liverpool is £10 to make lurve - the Eastern Europeans have driven the price down (it’s in the Echo - serious)

Thanks but lots of that round here, also I prefer a structured thing where she has set hours so we can sort kid pick ups etc .
