Yes, part-time work can count towards your State Pension if your earnings are high enough for National Insurance contributions to be recorded, or if you receive National Insurance credits. You usually need at least 10 qualifying years for any new State Pension, while 35 years is often needed for the full amount, although your individual record may differ. Check your National Insurance record and State Pension forecast on GOV.UK to see where you stand. If you have gaps, GOV.UK can show whether voluntary contributions might help, but check that they are worthwhile before paying.
