Job Breakdown

[Gazza]

Was having a chat with the CO's here about my role and conversation moved to breaking our jobs down into components. Anyhow, i walked away from the conversation with the urge to display what i thought in Pie Chart format

Food for thought.

I hope "Other" includes a tea break! The breakdown is similar to mine. I might have badded a 5-10% Section for H&S. This seems to take up more time these days.

That is quite interesting.

I do very little cleaning.
I do a lot of paperwork. Maybe 40% of my week.
I also do a maths intervention class once a week.

The diversity of the " same " role across different schools is huge.

Your allowed a tea break? I got snitched on a few months back for having a cuppa. My HT said that I am not entitled to one as I do not work enough hours of the day. I work a split shift and 7.5hrs of the day so by law I should be entitled to at least 15 mins.
Am I right in thinking this?

Mine would look completely different too.

Also it could be vastly different day to day and even term to term so it would actually be misleading to use such a chart to display to others your job role, they would assume that on any given day you would spend x amount of time doing lets say "Cleaning" when in reality you may have spent twice as much time or 1/2 the time..

Its to do with what you work in any given shift.. I know for instance that as I do a split shift I'm not entitled to a lunch break.

However there is a huge difference between entitlement and just common decency no one should be able to stop you having some refreshment during your day and I personally would not want to work for management that were so nit picky to say your not allowed a tea break.

I always explain to anyone who comments that although I do have a cup of tea, should there be a call for me to do something then I would leave my tea and do the work. It's very different to others who have a break and lunch break whilst at school.

so i did consider seperating the H&S but i have included those tasks within planned maintenance for the practicsal, and the record keeping etc in admin

but yes there are a few tea breaks in other

This is now the reason why I went from doing 15 - 20 jobs on my job sheet to only doing one a day. I was asked why I slowed down, I just said that I am busy with paperwork and don't have the time in the day now to do more as the jobs that are currently being put on there are taking longer.

They don't really take a long time but, my attitude is treat others as you would be treated and if you treat me like a child, I shall act so. So this is why I am now slowing down.

I would also say its difficult to quantify tasks carried out in a day, as every day can be and is usually very different. But as a starting point to illustrate basic time division I suppose it would be useful.

So this for me is a typical day with the kids in, Yes it can change day to day with reactive maintenance increasing depending upon events that day etc but on the whole.

i have just considered a day in the life during the holidays and it would look totally different
