...except that the vast majority of state school teachers are on temprorary conracts, & the education department can & will, expect teachers to move to any school within that department's area, almost every year.
Some teachers at my daughters' schools, when they were at school, either drove hours every day, or rented a flat near the school & stayed in it Monday to Friday, going home just for the weekend.
Fine for a younger single person who can move every year if they're happy to, but I know of at least two who were married & moving wasn't practical. One had children & did the long drive every day, one didn't & only saw her husband at weekends.
If you turn down a position that you are 'offered', you might find yourself without any job at all.
