Applying for retail jobs where evenings and weekends are pretty much mandatory?

Above.

In theory I could work every evening except Wednesdays, but due to living in a "Care Home" which has almost no staff (3 staff on duty to 5 residents most of the time), the logistics of getting to and from work would be difficult to put it mildly.

Would there be a legal way around this? I am desperate to get a job but lack of availabilty for evenings and/or weekends is severely holding me back.

    Even if there is, employers will just choose somebody else. You need to abandon finding retail work for your own wellbeing and seek a different sector (ideally something that you can do remote part time).

    I've looked into and applied for remote part time sales work, but there's still the same problem, due to the customers' availability, most of the work's evenings or weekends.

    Can you not do any remote work in the place you're in now? dosent have to be customer sales.
