I have started a part-time job as a midday supervisor in a local school.
Its only 11hours a week at the moment BUT the school is expanding in Sept and I am hoping to be on the short list for TA jobs that will be needed.

I currently get JSA as a single mum of 3 (over 7yrs old)

I went for my 3 month interview and have been told that I'm due to move to "The Work Programme"? at the end of the month...
She also said I would have to do work placements and if I got offered another job I HAVE to give up my current work!!

Is this really true??....why should I have to stop working to do a work placement where I may not even get employed after??

I really want to stay where I am as I love it!!...they are just waiting for their budgets to be decided, so they know if they can start training people now ready for Sept or will have to wait.

So I'm pretty stressed out at the moment and trying to find some extra few hours of work elsewhere so I can get up to 16hrs a week....

Does anyone else have the same experience??
what are my options?

:(
Need more income or less expensive children!!
Trying to slim down in body, mind and clutter....
