    My girlfriend will be finishing up a years contract teaching in the UK. Her subjects are art and home economics.

    Just wondering where the best places to find jobs. At this point anything in Ireland would be considered.

    Any tips/suggestions would be recommended.

    Thanks

    If she has teaching council approval to teach Home Economics, she is in clover. There is a drastic shortage of Home Economics teachers in Ireland at present. I know of at least eight jobs going in the South East alone. This shortage will not last forever but the next two years should be ok. Home Ec and Irish are the two most in-demand teaching jobs. All others are more or less hopeless cases at present and into the future unless you are very, very lucky and brilliant to boot!!

    I know a couple of Home Ec teachers involved with the training college for different things. They say that although it's very difficult to find a Home Ec teacher for subbing etc that in fact there are almost no real jobs available countrywide - that it's essentially all maternity leaves and that graduates are leaving the country as there's practically no hope of securing their own hours.

    There are always plenty of Home Ec jobs advertised all the time but they are all subbing so whether they ever lead anywhere long term I don't know.

    Why anyone would study to be a teacher in Ireland to then have to go and teach in the UK with a different syllabus or the middle east which is a different everything.

    Considering our youthful demographic I would have expected more jobs... Are there just too many teachers?

    nothing wrong with going abroad if yer young and free and not tied to family. Permanent position... not working for 'hours' or sub work. middle east probably good tax allowances/saving opportunity.

    But yess too many teachers, or more to the pt. the senior cohort have been retired off so whoever is left won't be moving for a few years . + theres so many long term non permanent not on full hours that any 'hours' that become available get divided up.

    And etbjobs.ie

    And then the individual etb websites that don't use any of the above.

    Why anyone would study to be a teacher in Ireland to be unemployed or work 6 hours a week (if they're lucky)

    One of life's mysteries. It's not as if it's only recently things have turned to the worse. It's a bit like doing the Lotto every week - it 'could' (but probably won't be) you.
