Anyone in a senior role with SN kids?

[Taswama]

If so, how do you cope? Do you manage to have time for yourself as well as working and time with the kids?
I have two dc, 10 and 13, both autistic and in mainstream but with support. I work in a middle management role on 90% of hours. There is going to be a vacancy soon at the next level up, managing a large team. It's the role I've wanted for the last few years but DP is worried if I will cope with the stress. I do the school run 3 days per week currently and also find time to help with homework, go for a run with them twice a week and get them to help with tea twice a week. I also do a bit of running, cycling and yoga on my own and find it helps me destress.
I never do any work at weekends and found lockdown very very stressful when I had to work in the evenings to keep on top of things while teaching most of the day.
No local family so its just me and DP.

Any thoughts welcome.

I have two children - one with SN. Both in mainstream school. My child with SN has 1:1 support and some of the problems are with managing his behaviour. I have frequent calls from school, we also have appointments for him. Care after school is also important. I work full time - I had a middle management role and chose to step down (I felt too stressed). I now just manage myself (I am a teacher) and I am okay with that. I don't want to dissuade you but for me it was just too much.

Thanks for replying Alice . We had issues with my youngest like that a few years ago, but its settled down a lot more now.
However, he will move to secondary next year. He will go to the same one as the older dc and I'm confident he'll get good support but there are likely to be teething issues.
