@FloraSCooper This is such a kind post, and one very much needed for all support staff right now. It can be a lonely place at times for us non curriculum support staff, summer term being the hardest term of all.
@bradleyjake1997@sbl_community@SBLconnect I hear ya! I started adding in everyone’s stuff so I could keep up and then when was asked about an event, I’d fire the online diary up and started wooing people with it. Took an academic year to get everyone on it. They still have paper diaries though.
@kelly_walker@izzynetball I got there but just for the Thunder game. Travelling an hour each way, tea time traffic and lots of school events at this time of the year too which doesn’t help. Im not sure Friday night games should be for the semi’s, poor scheduling in my opinion.
Government announces more money for crumbling schools, nursery provisions and before and after school clubs. I wonder who all that work falls to?…… Ahhh that’s right, the people who have recieved the lowest pay award in education....... @bphillipsonMP

Headteacher "Dear Recruiter, we want a School Business Leader, they must be a qualified accountant, by the way what is the difference between A Level Accounting, AAT and ACCA? We also need them to be highly competent in terms of HR, ideally qualified, since they need to jump between advising on the various complexes of the burgundy book and then chasing some references for cleaners. They also need to have experience in health and safety, COSHH, fire safety. Competent in managing ICT, both strategic and operational. Full understanding of various business legislation. Experience of being a company secretary as well. Managing and leading large teams is a must"
Recruiter "ok, that is a bit of an ask, but yes I may know a few potential candidates. What is the pay?"
Headteacher " budgets are tight, so they must start at 8am every day, 28 days leave, can only take that during school holidays but also must cover school holidays, be on site every day, and the pay is £38k"
Recruiter " "
We have hit over 1000 already!! I’m in complete shock that we got here this fast!

Keep sharing guys 🫶🏻 remember staff meetings, governor meetings the lot 💙🙏🏻@SchoolsWeek@tes@CSTvoice@unison@ISBL_news@ASCL_UK@NAHTnews
@gscrot@bphillipsonMP Interesting take. Maybe you should volunteer in a school to see how they work and then tweet about your experience of those non jobs you cite.
@SLister15 @NAHTnews@ASCL_UK I’ve ended my membership with @NAHTnews and have signed up with @GMB_union after a rep came into school last week, I believe they truly have our backs.
