Summary
Hours: Between 9-14 hours per week, term time only, according to my work timetable. Varying times between 8:30am - 4:30pm per week, usually Monday to Wednesday with very occasional hours on other weekdays.
Rate of Pay: £16:00 per hour for time spent driving or supporting

Car driver with own vehicle essential. Fuel allowance provided.
I am a 56-year-old woman residing in Newcastle with my family. I am a Special Educational Needs specialist speech and language teacher working for Newcastle City Council in schools citywide. I offer assessment, training and support in schools and travel between schools and settings across each week. I am a non-driver.
