Name changed because I'm going to put a few career details on here and don't want to out my normal user name to any colleagues!
Just wanted opinions on whether people think I should go for a particular job that has come up locally based on my experience.
So, I taught a core subject in secondary for 13 years. During this time I had a range of TLR roles- mostly pastoral such as head of year, deputy Senco (never did the Senco training) etc. Introduced and ran a nurture group program. Led on EAL for a while.
I then moved to primary and did 4 years as a classroom teacher with no TLR... obviously needed to learn the ropes of primary teaching. Loved it, but missed leading.
I'm now back to teaching my subject in a special school for children with SEMH. No TLR, but as the only teacher in my subject, I lead this area (there are other staff who aren't specialists who have to teach it, I lead them)
I miss primary teaching. A job has come up for an assistant head in a primary school, with responsibility for pupil wellbeing. Reading the job description it's right up my street, some teaching, responsibility for attendance, behaviour etc.
My only concern is will it be seen as too big a jump, considering I'm only UPS at the moment, no TLR? I have done plenty of leadership, but not in the last 5 years.
What do you lot think?
