How do I move from working in Further Education to working in a secondary school?

I have a degree in English Literature and History. I've applied to teaching agencies mainly because I thought it might help if I build up my experience in schools first.

Thanks. It's mainly because of the lack of job security in FE. There are hardly any full time permanent contracts, with most being sessional work. I would love to carry on working with adult learners but the job prospects just aren't there.

But, be warned. Secondary school teaching is very stressful and i don't think it is worth doing. It might be better to look more broadly at doing something different. Locksmiths, plumbers, electricians, gas fitters are better paid and have less stress for sure.

Maybe the OP is passionate about education and children, these people do still exist you know. Have a day off with teacher bashing.

Not entirely sure the OP is considering an alternative career as a gas fitter, but an interesting idea nonetheless
