Supply is shite and I need something else, but what ?

[Inkandbone]

I really don't think I can carry on with supply.

I hate if.

So I am starting a thread wondering if anyone has any advice, support, suggestions ... anything ??

Getting a job in a school? I know that sounds blindingly obvious. Are there reasons you don't want a permanent position in a school?

Are you looking at something that is still teaching or not teaching at all?

I doubt I'd get one. Been out of the game too long.

Where are you based?

In the middle of England

Primary or secondary? Subject?

English, secondary. Haven't taught properly for ages though.

English is now a shortage subject so you might have more of a chance of getting a job than you think. Or do you not want to work in teaching any more?

I doubt it giraffe tbh ... It might be a shortage subject in a national sense but some areas are just fine for recruitment. Plus I am not very good. Plus I have no references. And i haven't got the confidence to apply anyway. (I loathe the teacher recruitment system. So I doubt it.

Tutoring? Adult literacy teaching? I do adult (MFL) classes and love it. I know how you feel though - I do some supply and it is not much fun.

You may hate it but you are luckier than me I have only worked 2 days this term.

I once applied for a job as a registrar (which I didn't get by the way - but I'd have been fabulous ).

Have a look for something like that? Think outside the box for skills your English ability would help with.
