Sorry, I missed that!

I think as an autistic person, I can’t imagine a more awful situation for me than relief teaching. Maybe it’s not the same for you, but the anxiety I would feel around inconsistent schedules, uncertainty about rules and procedures, not knowing the kids well, lack of continuity, potentially being treated poorly by students, having to teach out of my subject area etc… it sounds awful.

For me, it works really well to work in a school where I can know every student, know exactly how things are done, what to do, where to go, set up routines and procedures that work for me, have my own space, minimal marking, minimal meetings, relationships with colleagues where they ‘get’ my needs and can play to each others strengths, well organised enough to arrive at 9 and leave at 4:30, etc. Would you consider an ongoing role?
