I am currently a sahm. I was working as an executive assistant and office manager for over 10 years.

My dh was in the forces and retrained as a teacher. Currently in his 5th year.

I am thinking about what I will do when I get back to work, and possibly doing a pgce. My dh works silly hours, but I wonder if I may as well join in! He spends hrs every week night but doesn't work much on a weekend or on hols. I do have a relevant degree.

I have so considered becoming a school business manager as its more closely aligned to my past experiences.

Any thoughts or advice? Another issue is I would not be able to get anywhere too early. I can drop kids off at their breakfast school club at 8am.

Where in the country are you? I spotted a job advert yesterday for a finance/ admin assistant in a school. South coast. I think it's a good way to get a foot in the door.

46 is not all that an unusual age for entrants to teaching these days , honest!
