I need a job that isn't teaching. I am un the UK (Yorkshire)
I don't want to work with kids I don't think anymore. I am utterly exhausted holding 30 kids feelings and manging them, including my own then coming home and doing the same for my kids. I feel like my kids get the sh*t part of me. The mum that's kmackered
That said, teaching pays well. I get all school holidays. I'm part time (unicorn job in teaching). I work in a lovely school. I love teaching , I'm just exhausted.
I have no idea what to do or where o look or what move to make.
I often think I'd like working in a museum, you know where they do workshops with kids. I like reading and writing. I'm good with projects and managing my own time. I've been SLT so experience line managing people.
Does anyone have any suggestions or words of advice ? Thank you

Yeah definitely have a look at the cultural sector for stuff with families and kids (though these will likely be very hard to come by as it’s high competition!) - have you thought about edtech sales / customer support at all? It’s not for everyone but can be a good option for transferring your schools and often they can accommodate school holidays etc x

If workshops with kids is your dream job, then why not brainstorm around that? Interactive sessions for young children? You could research venues and trial sessions for families with toddlers as "introduction to..." or think of a classic stories and come up with your own twists, make props and kids can play it out?
I have 2 kids and I am a little bored of the usual messy play, sensory classes and singing songs 😂 I can't be the only one craving something educational and at the same time entertaining for children.
