Introduction Most schools are funded through local government or are grant maintained. There are currently over 470,000 teachers working in schools run by local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. They teach around seven million pupils in approximately 27,500 secondary and primary schools. A teacher’s main aim is to build a relationship with pupils that [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/teacher/feed/ 0 http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/head-of-department/ http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/head-of-department/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:19:34 +0000 admin http://lgcareers.jobsgopublic.com/career-descriptions/educating-your-community/head-of-department/

Introduction As well as being teachers, heads of departments are administrators and managers. They are also mentors, especially for probationary teachers. Difficulties with classes or individual pupils, and coping with a complex curriculum can often make life difficult for a teacher coming to terms with a new job. More positively, teachers can help with careers [...] Related entries:

Introduction This is the sort of job where it is important to ‘do’ as well as ‘tell’. You would not have to be a professional dancer to teach dance, but to get the message across you must be able to demonstrate what you are talking about. The post exists in all types of authority except [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/dance-teacher/feed/ 0 http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-transport-officer/ http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-transport-officer/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:17:51 +0000 admin http://lgcareers.jobsgopublic.com/career-descriptions/educating-your-community/school-transport-officer/

Introduction School transport is a statutory service for children who are entitled to transport to and from school, by law. This is because of the distance they live from the school in their catchment area, or because they would be unable to access education otherwise, due to disability or other specific needs. In some authorities [...] Related entries:

Introduction Wherever possible, children with special needs (learning, behavioural or physical disabilities) are educated in mainstream schools or special units, rather than in residential establishments. Local authorities have a duty to provide transport for the children, who must be supervised during the journeys. Councils employ escorts to do so. School escorts (or as they are [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-escort/feed/ 0 http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-secretary/ http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-secretary/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:16:11 +0000 admin http://lgcareers.jobsgopublic.com/career-descriptions/educating-your-community/school-secretary/

Introduction It is surprising how much power and influence school secretaries can have. In providing administrative support for all aspects of the school’s activity, they play a crucial part in how well it is run. They also take on social duties – arranging school trips and parties for example. They are employed in all types [...] Related entries:

Introduction Local authorities provide midday meals for school children – and college students – who wish to take them. They take particular care to provide meals that are good value for money and provide a balanced meal since for many children school lunch is the main meal of the day. School cooks face the particular [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-cook/feed/ 0 http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-caretaker/ http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-caretaker/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:14:24 +0000 admin http://lgcareers.jobsgopublic.com/career-descriptions/educating-your-community/school-caretaker/

Introduction School caretaker/site manager is definitely not a nine-to-five job – with early starts and some evening duties, this type of work suits people with a flexible approach who enjoy the challenge of a varied routine. Whilst all caretakers and site managers are concerned with making sure that teachers and pupils can work in clean [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-caretaker/feed/ 0 http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-bursar/ http://www.lgcareers.com/careers-az/school-bursar/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:13:29 +0000 admin http://lgcareers.jobsgopublic.com/career-descriptions/educating-your-community/school-bursar/
