Setting up a job-share

1. 01Add both teachers on the staff step, each with their own real working days.
2. 02On the staff step, open each partner and, under "Classroom assignment type", choose "Class teacher" for the same class.
3. 03Leave the entitlements as they are. Each person is owed their own release on the days they work.

A job-share is two entitlements. Entering the pair as one made-up full-time teacher gives release to a person who is not there that day, and the other partner receives nothing. The timetable still builds, so nothing warns you.

If a class only receives four specialist sessions a week and its two teachers between them need more than four, that class cannot release both of them. Bell Path tells you rather than favouring one partner. The fix is usually more specialist coverage for that class, not a change to the job-share.
