Patseya do you want to be a Secondary teacher even though you have a PhD?
I find your post a bit confusing. Are you a) someone who wants to be a secondary teacher or b) someone who wants to be a lecturer at University?
If you want to be a secondary teacher really you should have a PGCE - I can't see Secondary Head's employing you without one. This seems like a very strange idea to me and I am surprised it is possible.
If you want an Academic career my advice would be to not do a PGCE. For an Academic career this idea sounds like a total, absolute, complete waste of money. I have an MA English and a PGDE and have nearly now finished my MLitt. I will then be doing a PhD because I want to be an academic. My only regret is wasting time doing a PGDE and spending time in Secondary schools. Secondary is horrible.
Without being rude, if you want to be a secondary teacher why did you do a PhD?
Job market is hellish. If it were me I would take a normal 9 - 5 in Tesco/MacDonald's whatever and work on my CV and funding applications during the evening. Some work is better than no work and it is easier to get a job when you are in a job - also helps with morale. Casual work employers will know you won't want to stay with them forever so they will let you go to interviews for regular science jobs. In your spare time you can write research proposals and do your literature reviews. By the time you start your PhD you will already know a lot about it.
