hi 3andnomore sorry if I'm stating the obvious but have you contacted the NCT? Apologies if you have and I am teaching you to suck eggs. On their website the email address for vacancies is [email protected], give that a try?

Hi, I have enquired in the past about it, but was not really given an answer as to how "profitable" it could be...suppose depends on area and things like that.....just would like to know a rough estimate on earning potential...
I mean, it's somehting I know I would enjoy doing...but, in the longterm I have to think about finances, iykwim...

aha, in that I can't help you but I'm sure people will be along who do/have done it for a living who will be able to give you an idea.

I have a friend who is an antenatal teacher - her career has really taken off, she teaches lots (£25 ph), is on call for the helpline (£15 ph) and is in the process of doing whatever is required to turn her training into a fully-fledged degree, which will enable her to become a tutor for prospective a/n teachers.

It does sound like a good job in lots of ways.

I'm not sure how much she earns per annum, but I know that she teaches 3 classes per week, so that's 6 hours of teaching as well as some extra pay for preparing her house for the class/tidying up afterwards, and is on call 3 hours per week. She also does the occasional weekend course.

She has three small children and is planning to do a lot more teaching once they are all at school, there is a lot of demand in this area.
