On another thread, I stated that I had made the decision to leave my current employer. I have been in talks with an agency that I have contact at who I am friends with they have asked me about where I would like to work. In particular, what sector/area/role.
I can't be attending loads of interviews so I need to take every application seriously. Right now, my reasons are leaving school are a 'change of scenery' and disliking being part of a training school (I have visitors in and out of my classroom every single day!)
I am primary. My short term (3 year) career goal is to be working overseas in an international school in a middle leader position.
Here are my 'options'
- Stay in state sector but move to a more central location. At the moment I work in a far-flung area of the greater London ring. Challenges would be the same, but hoping fresh new location, being able to meet friends in the city for a drink now and again after work and being on the inner London payscale would break my slump a bit.
- International school, to build up some experience prior to moving overseas.
- Search for a subject/year lead vacancy to gain some managerial experience.
- Also, private sector is on the cards. I know nothing about working in a private school, so I would be interested in hearing pros and cons.
Thank you so much for reading this. I would love to use you lot as a sounding board as all of my teacher mates are at the same school, and no one else in my life is able to help me navigate this minefield!
