Part Time to Term Time working


Recommended Posts

I'm considering a change of jobs that would mean moving from a 3 day a week job to full-time term time working. Has anyone done this and found any particular issues with it? It would mean losing me-time on my home days (yes it's a lot of cleaning, ironing, organising etc but I have space/time to do it) but gaining time with the kids at holiday times. Not sure if that's a good trade off or not.

Hi I have recently done this....it's taken a few weeks to get back into the swing of working 5 days a week but just starting my first half term holiday is good :-) I'm very lucky that I got a job working at my son's school so have no Childcare costs or pick up stress, there 's a lot to be said for that. I am missing my "me" time but I think it's worth it while he's young.....

Is it every day school hours or every day 9 to 5pm? 13 weeks annual leave is not a bad deal. It seems to be best for the kids and family in general but it is also nice to have a day a week for yourself and the house shores.

I'm just considering the options at this point so don't know exact hours but I expect it would be 9-5 every day. But ideally it would be more local than my current part-time role.


I'm slightly wary that I'd find it hard to lose that time to catch up. And as the kids approach the upper end of primary, they don't need quite as much entertaining on school holidays. But equally as they get older, it becomes easier to do stuff with them so it'd be nice to have a bit more time together during the holidays.


I think ED mummy is probably right and any extra money from it should go on a cleaner.


Just wondered really if there were any angles I hadn't thought of, from anyone who's done it. slh2009 - sounds like it's working well for you.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
