It's not looking good with my job. I have chronic illness (I should be considered disabled) and where I work is making me quite ill, for a number of reasons. My attendance is also poor. One way or another, it will be coming to an end.
I have well over a decade of teaching experience in a core subject and have always been well regarded. My competence has never been questioned. It is just unfortunate I can't cope with the pace at the moment. I don't want to write too much about it here because I don't know what the outcome of all of this will be yet.
I'm in a bit of a panic about what happens next. I am UPS3 so have a lot to lose financially. Most jobs advertised are FT and, with my current track record, I'm not hopeful.
I can set up as an independent tutor as there is a demand where I live, but this won't be enough money by itself. There is also supply, but I'm hearing mixed stories about what it pays and work availability. As I'm in a shortage subject, I would hope I'd be okay. I'm also in a city. I think I would also manage short bursts of FT.
If anyone has any advice, or wants to give me a million pounds, it would be greatly appreciated .
