Please help me decide by sharing your opinions. I am currently on maternity leave and I am due to return to work in 10 weeks.
My current job. I work 24 hours a week flexible around the needs of the service and my commitments. I have to travel through 3 counties. I also have to attend meetings 6 times a year in London/Birmingham.
My son is in year 1. He is about to be assessed by CAMHS as we have a number of problems. He has been excluded from school once. I am fully expecting a diagnosis of autism at some level. I have always done the school run with him. We are introducing a child minder this week with a view that he will go there 3 mornings before school and once after school.
Job two is my previous role. It is less money and more hours but can be 9-3. and is local, andl I won't have to travel out of the area. Although funding isn't secure for this role and is for 1 year only at the moment.
Job one works well as I can fit my hours around inset days and have 2 days off and work 2 days locally. So am only out of the area one day a week. If the child minder doesn't work out though I am stuck as I need to work one long day to cover meetings etc. (DP works out of the country once a month so can not be relied upon)
Job 2 would fit in with school and I can be there within 5 mins if needed. The problem is covering inset days/sickness etc. THis role also has less annual leave. We would need more child care also (8am-3pm) so would cost us more and bring in less money.
The nearest family we have are nearly 200 miles away so can't help out in emergency.
Opinions greatly received.
