Coming to the end of a fixed term part time 1 yr contract at school.
A month ago I enquired about the possibility of the contract being renewed as 2 teachers (one ft one pt) had handed in notice. The ft post had been advertised that day.
Head told me that mine and the leaving pt teacher contracts were possibly being merged to a .6 contract, subject to funding approval by govs and that it would be advertised either internally and externally and I would be welcome to apply.
Just before half term interviews took place and ft position was filled.
Today the head called me into his office, as I was passing, at the tail end of lunch, and told me my contract wasn't being renewed due to lack of funding and that the second best candidate from the full time interviews had been offered the merged pt position and accepted.
The job which had not been advertised. The job I'd been told I was welcome to apply for once advertised.
Am I wrong in feeling I've been f**ked over royally?
