Tell me what term time jobs you do

[FlyMeToDunoon]

I realise the obvious-teaching, teaching assistant, school secretary but what else is there?

I know of a term-time PR manager

I work in pre-school but that is a bit close to your school type jobs so not much help!

School nurse (I am not, some only work term time though)

I'm a one-to-one tutor employed by a school.

My friend does term time only flexi for local council- her job is something to do with educational groups so maybe that's why it can be fitted in.

Don't forget about all the catering staff the schools need-my mum's friend is a cook for a special school and loves it.

If you work part time you do get to spend some of the holidays with your kids (if that's your issue) and most of my part time friends seem to work out the rest of the care between dps,gps, holiday clubs and reciprocal friend arrangements as well as your own holiday tme of course.

ironlikealion PR is a bit out of my league but interesting that there is that option.
SecretSlattern yes actually had forgotten that type and nurseries.
FluffyForLifeNotJustForXma.... Do schools have nurses anymore? Are we talking secondary or private? Not that I have any kind of nursing or health qualification.

Defineme do you work in a secondary school then?
Catering could be a possibility.
No GPS nearby and childcare seems scarily expensive.

If you're looking for flexible work you can fit around the children, as you want, when you want, i can help.

Let me know if you'd like info!

Part time office job (working for someone I knew before children so I said i could only do the job if it was term-time)! I also have a little sideline which is totally flexible - like WheresMy, let me know if you would like more info!

Yes I work in a secondary school, but one-to-one started in primary. You have to be a qualified teacher and it's tutoring Maths or English. The scheme should be starting in most schools this year, but there is some doubt about a Conservative government continuing it.

Many secondary schools now have cover officers who do all the cover lessons in school. Al the people I know doing this job were not teachers when they got it and most see it as a stepping stone to teacher training.

Thanks for that. I am a qualified teacher but have not taught for 10 years now and would rather not go back into it right now.
WheresMyWaistGone and 2madboys what are your secrets? I don't have a car in case that is relevant.

Hi Fly. Sorry, I don't have CAT. I could email if you're happy to put your add up.

2madboys I have found your posts about what you do but don't think it would be for me. Thanks anyway.

Well you're more savvy than me - I can't find them!

Drop me an email Dunoon, if you'd like more info - ay address is emma at little-bookworms dot co dot uk

Lecturing - holidays are much better as the college ones are one week longer?

That's what I do - it's great.

If you used to be a teacher, then how about marking GCSEs etc? My friend does that. She also does exam invigilating for our local secondary school.

No worries FlyMe.

Many local councils have flexible working policies, with options for term-time only, job-share etc. They may not be advertised as such, but it is worth enquiring if you like the look of a post. County councils and single-tier councils have education departments, which might be a good starting point. Or perhaps a road safety/cycling proficiency type job?

I have a jobshare (I applied with a colleague, with a proposal to show how it could work). Term time I work 3 short days a week, school holidays I work two long days. This reduces the amount of holiday care I need by one third.

Thanks everyone these are great suggestions.
I have been doing some looking at the council vacancies and will investigate some of the other things.

Extended Services. 5 hours a day, term time only in my school.
