At the moment you can't work for any big retailer due to your age as must be 16 minimum.

You could look around your local area you live in for paper round or if the local shops will be willing to take you on temporary helping in the shop filling the shelves etc up. Babysitter, dog walking 😮.

When you hit 15 years old then you can apply for "boots the chemist" for a job as they employ per from this age but you'll be restricted what department you can work on because of the age "18 rule " for certain departments.

Most companies require employees to be at least 16. Due to a) all the rules and restrictions surrounding employing under 16's and b) you wont have a national insurance number yet.
You could try smaller (i.e. not chain) cafes/restaurants. Or paper rounds, leaflet distribution jobs etc.
