...for part-time Primary teachers?

Bit of background in case you wonder why I haven't heard of the TES: I teach in Central London and, since DD1 was born 8 years ago, have been employed on a 0.8 (specified as 4 particular days) basis. I've changed schools a couple of times by applying for fulltime posts, explaining that I'm only available 4 days per week and being lucky enough to apply to schools where the Heads have been willing to employ a part-time teacher. There aren't many adverts for part-time Primary teachers in the TES, hence my having always applied for fulltime ones.

My current Head has taken seriously my suggestion that the school should actively try to recruit a number of ex-teachers, possibly parents who stopped teaching when they had DC of their own, to work part-time. However, my brainwave stopped short of ideas as to where to advertise for ex-teachers who haven't yet realised that what they need in their lives is a 1.5 day-per-week teaching job. My best suggestion* was to advertise at playgroups or on Mumsnet Grin.

So, if you were a teacher once upon a time but no longer read the TES/similar, what sort of publication
