3rd-year-out NSW high school teacher: I have to move to a new town every year. It is exhausting and expensive.

I'm a 3rd year out New South Wales high school teacher.

I've been lucky so far to get temporary positions - one per year.

Which unfortunately involves me moving all over the state, which is exhausting, expensive and makes me very anxious.

My first year was out past Young, my second year up near Tamworth and now I'm down near Canberra.

Carlie,

I have been a temporary teacher for the past eleven years.

I have now been a temporary teacher for eleven years.

It is very frustrating and yes, it makes me anxious.

Maths education graduate: there are no permanent maths teaching jobs available in NSW.

I graduated in July 2013 as a maths teacher and I am still waiting for a permanent position in New South Wales.

You could count the number of maths teaching positions offered last year by the department on two hands.

Others who completed my course are in the same position.

One of my friends is taking up a research job for 130K because there are no maths teaching jobs available.
