I currently teach part time, in a job share. My job share partner is retiring in summer and my school have advertised for a full time, permanent teacher to replace her. This will push me out of my own class (without any consultation) - I'm assuming for cover although no one at school will confirm that. The Head said it was part of 'streamlining staff and reducing part timers'. For context, we had two classes with job share teachers, now it will only be one.
I've been looking for work nearer to home, but in five years of looking, I've only seen one permanent part time post, and a couple of temporary ones. Is everywhere phasing out part timers? I'm a good teacher, but I wouldn't be if I was teaching full time and having to look after my three DC. I know my limitations. I feel like I'm being squeezed out of my profession.
