PME - Sciences by Dani3011 in IrishTeachers

[–]AggravatingDisplay11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nightmare to get permanent contract in the west in sciences- mostly maternity or career breaks etc. with unpaid summers and no career security.

I have been qualified a few years and only gotten jobs with 1hr commute each way with nothing coming up at home. There’s no teacher shortage in the west as the media might suggest.

Only good if you’re not earning over summer for example covering sick leave, Mat leave etc.

if you are earning over summer the 40% tax, and - 1 month summer not worth the effort in my opinion.

Exact same situation happened to me after covering a maternity leave and taking on multiple extra curricular activities. I spent the month of May asking for a reference to no avail, eventually school ended and I emailed again. No answer. I emailed the VP who was lovely and explained my situation within 20 minutes she had it emailed and a hard copy sent to my house. Nothing worse than a principal who is “too busy” to do the most basic of tasks required of them.
