Have you thought about doing the training for DECD (or DfE as they call themselves now). It's not expensive (possibly tax deductible?) and it's fairly simple. Once you do that you can go on the ancillary register for public schools. Not brilliant pay but generally good conditions particularly if you're prepared to fill gaps on short term contracts to get in the door. Once you're on the register, you may also want to introduce yourself to local schools and let them know you're available. The benefit of school work is that the hours aren't overly long and for many schools it's restricted to term times only with loading to compensate if you do get permanent work. Not saying it'll work but it may be worth a shot, depending on your skill set.
