...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

How about local papers? Lots of schools advertise in them as well as in the TES and if you definitely want local people then it makes very good sense.

Of course, the school website too.

Teaching is an incestuous profession, surely other staff have aquaintances and ex collegues who want to work P/T?

HollyBerryBush, I'd like to keep the one that was started at 20:35
Thank you for the ideas though!
