'lack-nest of work' - do you mean lack of experience?

Lots of 16-year-olds get part-time jobs. Although you will lack experience, you will likely be paid a lower hourly rate than older/more experienced staff. The minimum wage for unders 18s at the moment is £5.28/hour, so don't accept anything less. Try asking at local shops, cafes and restaurants aswell as online.
