Advice Needed

mxd321

At present I am completing a teacher training course which will finish at the beginning of July. Luckily I have a teaching job lined up that will start in September. This does present me with a bit of a problem in that I have just this week recieved my final student loan installment which is the last bit of money that will I will recieve my first wage slip at the end of September. I'm desperately trying to find a summer job, but not getting very far at the moment as I can only commit to 7 weeks work over the summer and not the whole summer season. Hopefully something will turn up but I was wondering if anybody have any advice or know if during the summer months I will be entitled to any benefits?

when i was in the same position i managed to find some TEFL work teaching summer exchange students on a short term basis. I wasn't tefl qualified my QTS status was enough.

some of my fellow students signed on with teaching agencies and did some supply work - although it wasn't at qts rate

don't tell them you will only work for 7 weeks!!! take a job and them resign when your teaching job starts.......they will find someone else!

Why aren't you available for the whole summer?

My course doesn't finish until mid July and my teaching job starts 1st September, meaning I can only give 7 weeks. Most places I've enquired in only want people who can commit to a much longer summer.
