Variable Hours Tutor: Take II
In September 2019 I was successful in securing a part-time post as a university tutor. This was great news.
While I've always worked in practice, I've enjoyed having students as a (sign-off) mentor and helping colleagues to fill holidays and other gaps; and completing a certificate in education (PGCE). In the past with the help of colleagues, I've organised teaching sessions for students on placement and small conferences. Now, I miss 'mentor updates' and meetings with the university outreach teams - practice education facilitators.
Of course at the end of 2019 a pandemic was brewing. The upshot - sadly for me - the tutoring was a non-event. No teaching (learning) opportunities followed, and the contract was not renewed in August 2020.
Through nurse revalidation in March 2023, I was helped in Warrington with another academic contact. I attended an open event, but again no openings. In (N) spring last year, I picked up the 2019 thread once again.
Success again! Another chance. Six months having passed, I do wonder though - if any hours will follow?
Fingers still crossed, having chased and looking elsewhere too.
