So apparently I'm unemployable - what do I do about it?

[HivesMind]

Would really like a new job after a long time in my current one, and an increasingly toxic environment. I've had a lot of progression in current role, know I'm good at what I do and am pretty confident my CV is decent. However, was told by a recruiter today that I'm basically unemployable. Reasons being- I need to stay within 30 mins commute of my home location to do school runs for the kids OR need a home based role; I currently work part time and would ideally like to remain so, although I do work 35 hrs which is not exactly insubstantial; I can't be travelling frequently, again because of the kids and schoolruns; I'm currently paid very highly for my role and our mortgage depends on this salary level. I don't know what to do...is it really the case that this combination of factors makes me unemployable? And, if so, do I have to accept staying in my company forever regardless how bad it gets - or where do I make compromises, which wont negatively impact my family?

Bloody hell, you DO earn a lot don't you, OP?

@lljk Under 100k I said, not over? Case of perspective I guess....I'm originally a northerner and when I was younger would never have dreamed of being on the salary I'm on today. But actually, in comparison to lots of my friends of similar ages in our area, my salary isn't particularly great at all. It just happens to be about 10k above the going rate for the level I'm at - I'm paid as if I were a bit more senior than I am, particularly as I'm not in the office 5 days per week. Yes, I guess we could remortgage etc....but it seems bonkers to do that when in my current role we wouldn't need to. If it comes to that, then the compromise would probably be me staying put at the cost of any progression / chance to be a bit happier elsewhere. I couldn't really justify doing that to our family finances. I'm very much hoping my new perspective on how I sell my situation, based on feedback here, may mean it doesn't come to that.
