Answer 1

There are some sample jobs at the first link below. The second link has some resources and lesson plans to give you an idea of what is involved.

Once you have prepared your lesson plans they can be reused from year to year with some minor modifications to meet any cirriculum changes

Answer 2

There are several jobs available but it really depends on the area you are situated in. Days can be stressful, however, i always find its worth it in the end. My usually day usually includes getting to school at 8:30 for a 9am start. We go through all the course for that year group, maths, english etc and then perhaps have a playground duty. Planning lessons can take up time but you make lessons a learning experience and fun for the children.

If you love children, have patience, and take each day as it comes it should be fun! Enjoy it!
