Hi everyone..
I'm training to be a teacher and I am in my last year. After I graduate I need to complete 1 years probation in a council, after which, I'm on my own with regards to finding a job.
It used to be that a good percentage of the time you would be kept in your 'probation school', as if they liked you and you did well etc, then they would offer to keep you on. With all the job and money cuts in my local council, there are schools closing etc, and last year 200 probationary teachers worked in my local council and not one got kept on.
Anyway, my issue here is, for my probation year, do I look at completing it in councils that are further away (and, at this present moment in time) have vacancies, as they may be more likely to keep me on?
If I choose somewhere further away, I will either need to travel (cost money) or rent a place there (again, costing money) with the risk that I might not get kept on?

When you're starting your career the most important thing is to have a job. If that means travelling or moving then that's what you have to do.0

Forgot to mention that I can get £6,000 if I choose to 'work anywhere' in Scotland - a good incentive?
