Can I work part time with esa?

Hi @Begin - & welcome to the community. You can work whilst claiming ESA so long as you don't work more than 16 hours a week & don't earn more than £167 a week: https://www.gov.uk/employment-support-allowance/working-while-you-claim  

You also should complete form PW1 form before starting work. There's a link to that here:https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1148680/permitted_work_factsheet_PW1_04_23.pdf

Assuming you're the main claimant. You can work less than 16 hours per week and earn no more than £167/week. Anymore than this and entitlement to ESA will end. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-and-support-allowance-permitted-work-form/permitted-work-factsheet

You must tell DWP that you're working and fill out the PW1 form. Do be aware that if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're claiming ESA then it can go against you at your next review.
