Start looking way earlier.
Not a lot of help this year but haven spent 5 years at uni and of course looking for stuff for school holidays before that (and in a rural area) I can say with confidence that most places will have been filled at least a couple of months before the holidays started. Your best bet is probably to pick up a permenant weekend job, even if you only really want it for the summer tell them you want it long term.
Have u tried maplin electronics, in all the years I worked there (Edinburgh and Glasgow not bradford) they seemed to have trouble finding part timers, for some reason it doesnt occur to people, probably cause they think you need lots of techy knowledge. But if you've ever asked for technical advise in one recently youll know its more like dixons than radio shack. :-)
