Good luck with your search. My husband was offered a job teaching MFL in the Midlands the other day (he is a trained language teacher too, but got out over 25 years ago!). A friend who's a head was having trouble getting good staff, and when my husband said his contract was limited the guy said he had a job going.Ironically my parents live up north but I just looked on tes. 20 jobs for languages teachers including Scotland. Nothing I can do. If I do find a job then great. If not then although the thought is upsetting then there's nothing I can do..... It hasn't happened yet so will continue to see if I can find another job and just have to hope that I am one of the lucky ones. My priority is to try and clear our debt so that we are in as strong a financial position as possible if it happens.
Sometimes it's who you know. What I mean is that sometimes a job might not be advertised because personnel have not done the advert yet but can be filled through word of mouth. I didn't have a formal interview for mine. One head recommended me to another head. Am hoping something will come up. Trouble is an NQT is a helluva lot cheaperGood luck with your search.

In order: Swedish, German, French and Spanish at KS3 though haven't done German for 2 years now!What language do you teach? I know you have Scandinavian languages but are they taught here?
There is the option of providing evening classes if your hours were cut. I have learned some turkish online but would really like an evening class but there's nothing near me. Someone in your area may really want to learn a Scandinavian language. You would have to do some research. Of course I'm not helping you at all by saying this because you have your hands full with a young family.
Oh ... I wish I could help! :-(

Tell me about it. I'm UPS3 - no-one wants to pay my wage. The most I can get for supply work is £70 a day less than the wage for my scale. I got 2 terms maternity leave work through not getting a job (the head there told me I was too expensive) and that head telling another head about me, who then rang me up.Sometimes it's who you know.

With those skills, it may be worth some research into translator/interpreter work, just incase things go pear shaped on school front. Translation work can often be done from home. Companies are doing business in Europe more and more and there's often a need for documents etc to be translated.In order: Swedish, German, French and Spanish at KS3 though haven't done German for 2 years now!
Tbh would do anything to cover mortgage. Will see what happens if it happens. Hubbie worked in children's home but it was closed down and everyone made redundant. Works part time in nursery in after school club but work very low paid. Has trawled supermarkets and everything but to no avail. I think it's just the world of work these days. Old equals expensive.It's not my area of expertise, but can't you find tutoring? I used to work with a guy who endured endless ribbing for the French lessons he had every Tuesday evening.
Ahem.
I assume your husband is ever vigilant? What are his skills?
No all advice appreciated.With those skills, it may be worth some research into translator/interpreter work, just incase things go pear shaped on school front.

There is also The British Council of Schools. Would working abroad be an option? Your children are young enough to adapt and you could rent your house out.
Sorry, I expect your fed up of people making suggestions. You know Canada has one of the best education systems, and you have French. They will take people up to she 50 I think , which is older than Australia's limit.
Not that I'm trying to get rid of you.
I hate what is happening to the jobs market in education. If schools continually go for NQTs the quality of teaching staff as a whole will drop. There will be few experienced teachers for them to learn from.
