Advice needed for September!
Hi all,
I trained as a secondary school teacher in England and I’ve been working as one in London from 2021 to December 2025. I moved home to Ireland and just got my teaching number last month. The subjects I am qualified to teach are geography and politics & society (niche I know 🥲)
Im living back in the midlands in my family home at the moment. I’ve been applying for the odd job I’ve seen online, they usually are for geography with a subject I don’t have such as English, but I apply anyway.
I’m also considering just trying to sub in schools from September. Does anyone know the best way to go about this? Is it good to go around to the schools and hand in your cv or is there an online platform that’s used?
My sister also lives in Dublin so if there’s more work up there I can stay with her and work in Dublin schools. I’m hoping to at least get the ball rolling and then keep applying for jobs until I get my foot in the door. I’m also considering adding on an additional subject to make me more employable, maybe history.
I appreciate any help and advice
