To think that school admin is near impossible to get in to?

[muchtooshy]

Just that really! Wanting to change jobs into school admin ideally but it seems like it is who you know or they always have someone in mind. Feels like it is impossible to go from admin (non school) to a school post.

Really trying to find a new job and put a lot of effort into the application forms but I don't even get an interview. Not even for posts that don't ask for experience or qualifications.

Is this just what the job market is like now!?

Keep your eye out for Nhs jobs working for the school nurses. These are normally school hours.

where i work there has recently been two office job adverts, although it's difficult to get into though obviously.

school cook? often vacancies, sometimes on the LA's website as lots of kitchens are run by the la and not the school.

cover supervisor in class?

a woman i know is clerk to govs meetings - she gets £70 per meeting. said the minutes used to take her ages to write up but she's got much faster.

could you take a few days off work and go and see local schools? give them your cv? right place right time!?!?!?
