I'm a full-time part-timer
Description
Gladeana McMahon, Teachers TV's life coach, has a real challenge on her hands when she comes to the aid of Nicola McGee, who spends 45 hours a week on her three-day-a-week job. Nicola is a part-time RE teacher at Beacon Hill School in Blackpool, where she works Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. On those days she is notorious for being the first person into school and the last one to leave! And when she is leaving on a Friday and says to colleagues See you Tuesday , they laugh and say Don't you mean Monday? as they know she will be in then doing her lesson planning. Thursdays are spent as an early years play worker at her daughter's primary school, and when Gladeana makes her tot up all her hours she finds she is working a 52-hour week! Not surprising then that she is exhausted, accident prone and in danger of burn out. Her ambition and perfectionism are her downfall. Will she take Gladeana's advice on board and regain a work/life balance?
