Leaving permanent job for fixed term

Spendless

Do you 'need' the school hols off? When I returned to work so many people suggested to me that I look for work that was term-time only. It didn't work out that way and tbh I've been glad, as I'd far rather have less holidays when I can ask for any date off, (ok it's subject to availability if I can have it) than having more hols but nothing outside of the school closed weeks.

The 4pm finish time and shorter commute, rather than getting in at 7pm, would appeal too.

I would do it but then I did something similar, giving up a full time permanent job (at the age of 56), moving area and with no job to go to. I managed to get a fixed term job, followed by another elsewhere and then a permanent contract somewhere else. I’ve since moved on again working part-time now. Looking back it was a very scary thing to do but I’m so glad I did it.

Life is too short to stand still. You have to take risks and do what you want. You are obviously capable of getting jobs so you’d be able to do so again in two years time if the need arises.

Truth is nobody knows what'll happen I n2 years.
But as previously said, if you accept that you may have to look for a new job in 2 years. Then why not, its worth the risk!
Go for it!
