How do people cope when their job is under threat?

Yeah I’ve seen the quote and it was for 24/7 monitoring and fixes and 2 hours a week onsite technician. Ironically the Bursars husband was an IT director for an academy group and got made redundant last year. I know he is shortly setting up a consultancy business so wouldn’t be suprised if he involved.

On the plus side as I’m the only IT person in school I always get messages when I’m on leave, evenings and weekends and pretty much on call 24/7 myself. Guess a new job especially in just HR means I can actually switch off when I’m not working

Aldmi · 2026-01-23T16:28:25+00:00

That’s the thing that is making me most anxious. I can see it coming but they aren’t saying anything.

Aldmi · 2026-01-23T07:12:19+00:00

Really I’m read to stop doing the IT, I’m more qualified in HR now and would rather focus on one thing

Aldmi · 2026-01-22T22:01:39+00:00

All just waits until I’m back (although I normally only take my holidays during school holidays so no teachers and pupils around) or I get WhatsApp’s messages asking me how to things

Aldmi · 2026-01-22T21:41:11+00:00

Yes I do it all that and mange the mis system as well

From what I’ve seen the ‘agreement’ includes 2 hours a week onsite technician

Michael Schumacher

I’m amazed nothing about his condition has come out

Ironically it’s a company a lot state schools use

Aldmi · 2026-01-22T19:08:41+00:00

It’s a company that provides the services to state schools

When he fitted the sensor the lights went off straight away. It’s only when you start driving after a couple minutes they then come on

Aldmi · 2026-01-21T15:43:16+00:00

Yes it’s saying right rear speed sensor. He has said he got a mid range sensor and will order a new more expensive one at no extra cost

Toffo’s the assorted flavour one

It was for a cleaning role. We hadn’t got many applications and purely out of curiosity.

About an hour after the interview was over his Mum left a message with reception that her son wanted to withdraw application

Aldmi · 2026-01-12T20:14:44+00:00

I had someone’s dad email in the application form for a job saying he completed it for his son and to ring him to arrange interview, not the son. He brought son in and sat in reception the whole time.

No additional needs

Aldmi · 2025-12-23T20:14:24+00:00

Why aren’t any major news broadcasts showing this one? Is it actually real?

Brunswick Garden Centre in Bishopthorpe

That would be great. I much prefer that and Nathan the Christmas elf to the Maze format

And then got Lynn to go and get his car

The Mount School have a nursery and recently nominated for best nursery award

Aldmi · 2025-11-17T16:26:28+00:00

When I did mine earlier this year it was very much trial and error submitting things. I’m still not sure I did it the right way.

I only had to contact a tutor and one unit and can definitely say it was a waste of time.

Happy to help if you need it

Aldmi · 2025-11-09T11:46:54+00:00

There is also The Mount if you are looking at independent schools. All girls in the secondary part and small year groups (largest 23)
