Well, that was quick!
I have a new job!
As of Jan/Feb I will be a level 3 senior teaching assistat at a local school not far from home. And also a study support coordinator too.
Had interview today. The practical task - 15 min guided reading (never done that before!) went fab, and the interview obviosuly did too. Apparently I performed excellently and they were super impressed and keen to get me in asap as they think I will be wonderful for the school, lol! And my telephone ref from school was superb.
Still a bit stunned TBH. Not taken it in as all happened so quick. Lots of changes - but hopefully all for the best. It is only temp till July IIRR (TBH can't rememeber much!) but can see what happens after that. If I can find a job that quick this time hopefully with even more exp it won;t be a problem in future either.
