I've been teaching for 10 years. I've done various roles, all in the same school including full time class teacher, job share and PPA cover. I've applied for a couple of part time jobs in other schools unsuccessfully but want to keep trying.
This job is 0.5, 2 full days teaching plus half a day PPA (paid I assume), in a year group I'm experienced in. The school is slightly closer to home than where I work now. 35 mins commute vs 45 taking into account traffic. Much 'nicer', leafier area. Village setting as opposed to inner city where I am currently. Childcare is sorted via amazing childminder and my youngest starts school in Sept (when the job starts).
Initially I was ruling out anything that wasn't on my doorstep but, given the shortage of part time jobs in my county, should I apply?
The thing I like most is, PPA is on Wednesday mornings with the whole year team (so my job share partner and I would have PPA together). Then I would stay in school unpaid on a Weds afternoon to prep for my 2 days, then teach Thurs and Fri. As both my children will be at school I can also do bits on a Monday or Tuesday. When I did a job share in the past we had zero overlap and a new head; special measures ofsted- it was really stressful.
Does this sound good?? I think it does...
