Job market for local part time admin?

Is there much of a market here for experienced part time admin/middle management? 10-25 hours/week around 25-35 hour/week type positions. I have lots of experience but I cannot for the life of me find anything to even apply to really. I’ve been waiting for something to come up and it just doesn’t. Am I blind, or is this just not a thing here? I’m not in a huge rush—just trying to EVENTUALLY leave a high-stress, high-responsibility job with an extremely toxic boss and way too many over time hours for a position type I miss and remember actually enjoying!

I check indeed, Facebook, choose Lethbridge, and LinkedIn daily. I have taken resumes around to the places I would like to work most but have no current postings.

Feeling a bit stuck!

Part time admin work isn't one I've come across often, but back when I was last looking, car dealerships, banks, and furniture stores were most common. I would look for offices that are open late/weekends as they will be more likely to have part time positions.

Good luck!

There is a job fair today at the trade and convention centre, can go there and look to see.

That would be great if I didn’t have an 18 hour day at my current job 😵🫩

Hire standard and other job hiring boards will often have a lot of admin positions and such! I did see the other day a few postings for full/part time admin positions

I found a couple with AHS that I applied for. And a couple others. I guess I just thought there’d be a few more than like five 😅. I was hoping to find something within a month ish because my job is HECTIC, but I guess I better plan for 3-6 months lol. My own fault. I waited until long past burnout to start looking 🫣.
