The easiest way is negotiating at your current job. I realize this hasn't worked for you, but it is possible.

The next easiest way is negotiating at new job. You don't tell them upfront you want part-time job, you just get an offer and then negotiate for hours. If you tell them upfront they won't bother interviewing you, if you can negotiate once you have an offer you have much stronger position.

Here's someone who has been doing this for years: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...

(Also don't use the phrase "part-time", "reduced hours" maybe, especially if it's 30 hours a week. Makes it sound bad.)

I wrote a book about the process, based on doing it myself multiple times, and a bunch of research and interviews like the one above: https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/

Happy to answer any questions!
