Hi guys, I’m just looking for a place to vent and get general advice.
I qualified as a primary teacher in January 2020. I started looking for an NQT job but ended up working on supply. Then came COVID-19 making supply work hard to come by. September rolled around and still no secure NQT job. I had successful applications but the schools were all looking for someone with more experience.
I have finally been offered my dream role, to start my NQT year, on long term supply. The issue is, I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. I understand I will have to decline this role as I will be due in June. Throughout COVID I have supported myself using my savings, I am extremely worried about my finances whilst not regularly working and raising a child. I also have anxiety about when I will get another chance to start my NQT year. Just feeling a little deflated and as though I will never have a stable career. Any advice or words of encouragement would be appreciated.
