Story 78

Age: 56

Teaching Experience: 2-4 years

Contract Type: Casual Supply (through calls, emails, teacherbooker etc)

Passed my probation June 2022.

No contracts available across the councils. Put on supply list. Only a day here and there offered on supply text but gone when you phone the number. Reapply every January through Generics, still no contracts so put back on supply list.

Had one term work Spring 2023 to Summer 2023, then nothing else offered/available.

Went back to working as an Early Years Officer (7.30am-6.00pm), and a barmaid at weekends. Have one day off a week that I try to pick up teaching supply and live in hope that I can one day get a permanent contract from it 🤞🙏.

But, only work available this academic year was on Census week.
