What can I do now?

So, my history is pretty complicated. I have taught in primary schools on and off since 2003. A years contract here and there followed by supply in between. Then a year doing something else and then back to permanent supply since 2009.

I have just left supply teaching as I am fed up with it. Realised too late teaching is not for me but now lost my confidence and unsure what I am good at, if anything. Lots and lots of rejection lead me to give up and do supply.

Anyway, I ve made the decision to leave supply and do something else. I have lots of ideas but unsure where to start with any of these ideas. Anyone know people in these roles? How did they get them?

Ideas are; they are random

  1. trainee/assistant educational officer, coordinator in a museum, zoo, educational place.
  2. dyslexic teacher, assessor.
  3. SEN teacher- working in small groups in mainstream schools.
  4. breastfeeding consultant Nct or something similar
  5. support/trainee educational coordinator for a charity or similar who go into schools and run programs.

I don’t know where to start. Lacking in confidence, want something I can do without returning to long term studying, part-time and flexible to fit in with dcs 5 and 2.

Mis- that's what a read. Don't really want to do anything in social care. Tried it 8 plus years ago and found it wasn't for me.

National trust is a good idea. Thanks

There was a job at the local library working with schools and the reading challenge. But paid about 22 grand equivalent and was all year round. Looked amazing though!
