One day a week job share

I am only a very part time teacher (I have my own business that I’m trying to grow). I’ve been looking at a one day a week job share. Has anyone done this before? How did it work? Did you do a % of all planning/reports etc?
thanks all

We had a colleague do this as our place only had 0.8 in offer to top up her wage. She hated it and quit after 2 terms. She couldn't establish herself so behaviour was always a problem and pupils and parents assumed she was a supply teacher. She had to do a certain parents evenings, meetings and cpd. It was a very challenging school though so it probably depends on that and the general culture in the school

I’ve done it. It was absolutely fine. It probably helped that I already knew the colleague I was covering for and I worked within that year group so was already involved in the planning etc.
There was no expectation that I would do additional planning/meetings etc as the class teacher received full PPA and I didn’t get any extra.

Hmmm I'm on tbe other side of this - 0.8 - and do pretty much everything apart from teach the fifth day. 0.2 writes a couple of lines that I paste into reports but doesn't attend staff meetings, sort classroom displays etc. Seems like a pretty good deal to me!

I did it with an NQT who got a full day out of class. I took all of the standalone lessons, like science, DT and spelling. I then did the reports for those subjects. The only thing I felt I got shafted on was on my one day, I got given a before school, break AND lunch duty! Make sure you're only given 20% of duties, clubs, INSET days etc.
Good luck! Oh and one more thought - would it not be less stressful to tutor instead of doing 1 day a week in school?!
