Part time job £24,000, does it exist???

[OhDearWhyAmIFatterly]

I want to change career
I am so demotivated its unreal.
Been a teacher, now SLT for nearly 20 years. I just don't want to do it any more.
I still want to be part time so I can do a couple of days pick up/drop off.
DH doesn't think jobs exist outside of teaching where I could match my current salary. I know I am well paid but I have been doing it for nearly 20 years and experience should count right?
So fed up....

Yes @OhDearWhyAmIFatterly DM me! Also look at didteach.com is good for ideas

In the last team I managed, one of the team members dropped to 3 days a week and still earned £40k, so yes the jobs do exist.

saltyaf I'm in the same boat as you in nhs band 3 with no chance of progression . Husband stayed in teaching and is really high up now and earns x 3 what I do - often wonder if I should have stayed teaching

@Tinyhumansurvivalist
If you don’t mind a little customer service and form filling with your admin there are jobs in benefits and housing that will be around £26-£30k salary. But with housing there’s also a rota basis call out service and 24/7 telephone shifts that’s £100-£200 on top per shift. You may or may not get called out.
If you progress well, then you can expect up to around the £40k salary (with call outs on top) before you’d have to take on a management role. As the job can have a high turnover, progression can be fairly fast.

People saying nursing ??? Don't forget the three years training first with all the placements and assignments.
Also part time at £23k would take years.

I think lots of traditional public sector jobs are just not what they used to be. I know I sound like a grumpy old woman, but it's lost its sparkle and magic in school.
From some of the other teachers past and present it seems I'm not alone.
I also totally agree with thinking carefully about the benefits of teaching, the pension, holidays (although we aren't paid for them, only 39 weeks) and of course I'm so grateful to be employed during this crisis.
Teaching is all I've ever known, so having the confidence to even apply for something else is massive.

I'm the same with the confidence thing.
Don't think that changing jobs for me, security wise, will happen with covid.
For all I dislike aspects of my job, job security and pension are huge factors. I'm also early 50's so new careers seem a bit unrealistic sadly.

I've considered doing online tutoring. Anyone done this? Any websites?

Are you on Twitter OP?

Follow @penny_ten every Sunday, she posts jobs relevant to people who want to move out of teaching/education. You might find something from her posts over the last couple of weeks, get an idea of relevant jobs.

There are plenty of jobs that pay that and much more, even part time. The difficulty is walking into a job that you haven't done before and expecting a salary that is usually connected to experience
This is the crux of it. Most people who have good part time jobs started off as full time, got several years experience, then dropped to part time. There are virtually no well paid jobs where you could enter as part time. No well paid jobs where you can be well paid as soon as you start either. Whatever job you take and whatever hours you work, you’ll be taking a massive pay cut because you’ll be classed as entry level with no experience. This is why so many teachers remain miserable and trapped in teaching. Also because employers are prejudiced against hiring ex teachers.
