Teaching Assistant Resignation - When to Start New Job

[TANOWAY]

Thank you to everyone who helped me with my previous query! So my last official day at school will be at the end of the summer holidays. I break up from school at the end of July and will be paid for the following four weeks.

If I find a new job within this time (NOT in a school) can I legally start there straight away or do I need to wait until the official end date fo my school contract?

Sorry, I should have added this could include temp work. I can't sit on my hands for 5 weeks!

TA hours are pro rata so your salary for ‘term time only’ is split equally over 12 months therefore I would say when term ends so does your contract but youre still able to receive payment, so can start straight away.
