Returning to Teaching

If you have already qualified as a teacher, and would like to get back into the classroom, please get in touch with our friendly team. We can arrange some school experience for you at one of our partnership schools and offer some guidance about looking for the right job. You can find a list of all the schools we work with here. If you are seeking to return to teaching in Essex, you may want to look at this website, run by Essex County Council, when seeking a suitable job: Essex Schools Jobs

The Department for Education also offers support to former teachers considering returning to teach any secondary subject, and their expert return-to-teaching advisers can provide support every step of the way.

You can visit their dedicated website here: Return to teaching in England

The website offers advice on the following:

  • How to update your subject and teaching knowledge
  • Finding classroom experience
  • How to apply for classroom experience
  • Arranging referees
  • How to show you meet the Teachers' Standards
  • Returning to England after teaching overseas

Those interested in accessing support can register on the return to teaching website, where they can also access the latest guidance and advice to aid their return. They can also register for exclusive return to teaching events and find information on a range of areas, such as curriculum, pensions as well as flexible working.
