Very informative, thank you for this. I volunteered with school readers and found it too difficult to be consistent and hadn't factored in travel to and from. That experience was useful to know my ability to work.
I'm a freelancer/sole trader myself and I'd say there are definitely pros and cons! At the moment the flexibility makes it the best choice for me pacing-wise but I do really feel the lack of sick leave/annual leave and it's often work-life balance that takes the hit in order to earn a decent living wage. I keep meaning to do a video on this as the pros and cons will feel different for everybody, thank you for the reminder! And thank you for watching!
Omg the reduced hours thing, Pippa!😅 yes! Part time is not accessible for me in any way, paha. It’s something that you never ever see advertised (especially in the SLT world) and is definitely something I always have to ask specifically for, such a vulnerable ask - but I think it gives a good look at how flexible and supportive a prospective employer can be. Thank you (as always) 🫶🏻

Thanks for watching! Such a shame it didn't work out (especially such a lovely role) but glad it gave you some insight at least!
Another great video, Pippa - so much helpful information!
Great video pippa, thank you!
Thank you!
What do you think about freelancing or soloprenourship to skill up and rebuild confidence? Any thoughts? I also have M.E. (mild version of it)
