My youngest is turning 4 and I’m thinking of going back to teaching part time (if possible!). I only taught for 3 years before leaving, then another year in a charity doing related work. My NQT year was in an outstanding special needs school and I then took a job as a special needs teacher in a mainstream school.
I’ve now been out 6 years. I think many of my skills (makaton, PECS, etc) will be relevant still and I’m still quite cheap. So hoping it won’t be impossible to go back.
I’ve seen some full time roles in a local special needs school. Is it worth applying and asking for part time? They take NQTs and say they have a comprehensive induction scheme for all new starters. I was a good teacher (outstanding on a good day!) and moving into mainstream made me realise my passion was for working within special needs schools. Is this a pipe dream? I can’t do supply unfortunately due to childcare and similarly TA work wouldn’t cover the cost of going back.
