I have a 9 month old baby so would prefer to work part time - I am entitled to job seekers allowance but have first interview tomorrow and was wondering whether they will want me to look for full time work?


Answer
I hope this is what you are looking for;

Jobseeker's Allowance is a state benefit in the United Kingdom paid to people over the age of 18 years -- although there are circumstances when a 16- or 17-year-old can claim, mainly if estranged from their family -- who are looking for work or who work less than 16 hours a week on average. It is part of the U.K. social security benefits system and is intended to cover the living costs of the claimant. It is paid by the government Department for Work and Pensions and provides fortnightly cash payments as well as some additional benefits.

Types
There are two types of Jobseeker's Allowance: contributions-based Jobseeker's Allowance and income-based Jobseeker's Allowance. The first is provided to individuals who have previously paid sufficient National Insurance contributions (a tax, usually taken at source when working, that also goes towards your state pension). It is granted regardless of assets. Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance is for those who do not qualify for the contributions-based benefit. It is means-tested, taking into account individuals' savings and the income of their household.

Money
As of 2011, contributions-based Jobseeker's Allowance pays a weekly rate of £51.85 to those ages 16 to 24 years and £65.45 to those ages 25 years or older. For income-based Jobseeker's Allowance the rates are £51.85 for single people under 25 years and lone parents ages 18 and under; £65.45 for single individuals ages 25 years or older and lone parents ages 18 or older; £102.75 for a couple or civil partnership where both members are 18 or older. These rates are paid fortnightly to claimants by bank transfer.

Information
To claim Jobseeker's Allowance, individuals must demonstrate that they have been actively looking for work. Claimants meet with a Jobcentre Plus adviser on a fortnightly basis to assess the claimant's job search. The adviser has up-to-date information regarding possible vacancies suitable for the claimant and can advise on conducting a job search. He may also refer the claimant to relevant courses that might help her. Jobcentre Plus also provides newspapers and Internet access for job seekers to utilize.

Training
Jobcentre Plus also gives those looking for employment access to training programs. These programs are run either by Jobcentre Plus or outside agencies subsidized by the government. Such courses range from computer and interview skills to assistance with creating a curriculum vitae or résumé. In some cases, particularly after an individual has been receiving Jobseeker's Allowance for six months or more, such courses may become compulsory.

Complementary Benefits
Individuals who receive income-based Jobseeker's Allowance may also qualify for additional benefits. These include housing and council tax benefit, exemption from prescription charges, assistance with travel fares for attending hospital appointments, free NHS (National Health Service) dental treatment and free school meals for dependent children. All these benefits will be, like the Jobseeker's Allowance itself, means-tested and the level of each an individual receives will depend upon their assets and household earnings.
