Hi Folks!



I have seen a job near (almost around the corner!) me which I am qualified for and would probably really enjoy, and the pay is listed as "£19,621 Pro Rata, Term Time, Only + 10 days".


Term time seems to imply it is in a school/ college

It turns out that it is a school but my point was that it might have been a college, where hours would be far longer than in a school.

The job is in a school, and I think that without top ups from some sort of benefits the drop is going to be too much for me.

Moving isn't really an option as my wifes family live hear, and my family are scattered over the world, so this is "home" and we wasn't to stay here.

I might get some glossy brochures made up telling my skills that are aimed towards schools and send them out to all the schools, this way I could put my pay requirements on it. I'm not being greedy, but £1000 is too little. I would be able to drop to about £1400 a month with some major cut backs.

Never kind! Thanks for the input though!

School pay scales are set by the local authority according to the grade of post. You won't be able to choose your own salary. Private schools have more flexibility but can be even more demanding of their staff.

Take the job and find a part time job nearer home or create your own flexible part-time job if you are able to tutor or something similar. - even with the travel time / cost saving you could work for much less and still have more time with your family
