Hi I have potentially got a job working 30hrs a week subject to crb check and references I should be able to start shortly. I was just wondering if any one can let me know which and how much of benefits I will be entitled to or where I can find this out.

Thanks zippy

Hi zippy it is understandable that you are nervous. 

Did you look at the calculator? Is that why you are worried?

Hi Anna yes I used the calculator it seems fairly en par with what I get now so not too bad I guess as was thinking I'd be worse off. Worrying about child care and just going back to work in general

What wonderful news, zippy, I do think it is a bit scary to start a new job but it is a whole new chapter for you Smile Getting to know about the money side of things will help you to know where you are batting.
