This is a normal post Depends what you count as full time/part time.
Part time is (as far as I'm aware) anything 15 hours or under.

This is a normal post I thought it was 30 hours,
but even 15 hours at minimum wage is more than JSA.

For the purposes of tax credits, it was 15 hours if you had kids, and 30 hours otherwise.

This is a normal post For the college I work at full time study is counted as 15+ hours a week.
The council say 17.5+ hours for council tax exemption for full time students, and someone else I can't quite remember insists on 21+ hours.

I also got a bit of a telling off for refering to the part-time admin as part-time depsite the fact she works almost half the hours I do, because she works 15+.

This is a normal post full time study might not be the same as full time work,
also this was about the hours I was supposed to be looking for, not the hours I was already doing. Or they might have just been talking shit, or the rules might have changed since then, it was almost 10 years ago.

This is a normal post I don't seem to remember them telling me I couldn't look for part time work when I was on JSA.

This is a normal post I don't remember reading it in the rules,
but one time I printed off a couple of part-time job placements from the machine, and when I took them to my advisor he advised me that "you do realise we expect you to look for full time work," which surprised me then as much as it surprises you now.

This is a normal post You can do part-time work (under 16 hours a week, paid or voluntary) whilst on JSA,
as long as you declare any earnings when you sign on, so it can be deducted from your JSA. However, you still have to be seeking full-time work to continue to be eligible for JSA.

This is specific to JSA -- there are other benefits available to people working over 16 hours a week, or who are unable to work full-time.
