Leaving pastoral/transferable skills/new job ideas?

[UhOhOops]

I'm on my knees. Knew it was going to be mental after covid but wow.

I thought I'd found my passion, my calling. I've loved it for years, the successes, the struggles, the tears, the joys, the kids. But I just can't any more. My dd told me I've lost my spark and she wants her real mum back, the one with the sparkle, the passion, the joie de vivre. The one who made proper teas, came home reasonably on time, and who didn't do hours of unpaid work at weekends just to try and keep on top of things.

So, with all the transferable skills, what's next? (no lion taming or alligator wrestling jobs locally )

Nothing to add really but I’m in pastoral /SG and I agree
It’s gone absolutely mad and to top it off we have a severe lack of TA’s so kids are just unsupervised

What about something like Family Support Work or Youth Support Work through your local council. Often really flexible hours.
Or working in adult education? Or careers?

All other areas are a bit crap too tbh.

I moved from pastoral to adult MH, now going back into a school.

I’m also feeling the same. My whole department is including the line manager. Ive been looking at local council jobs, according to some of the professionals that come in to school who work for the Cc, the training is very good which i feel is lacking in school because we have no time

One of my colleagues left a pastoral role in a primary school to work in student support in a university.
