Recently Resigned from Teaching? Not Sure What's Next?

Location: Shepton Mallet, Somerset

Pay: £125 - £145 per day, depending on experience and assignment.

If you've recently handed in your resignation and are wondering where your teaching career goes from here, you're not alone.

Many talented teachers leave permanent roles because the workload, marking, planning, meetings, data tracking, and increasing pressures have taken away the part of the job they love most – teaching.

What if you could get back to doing exactly that?

Supply Teaching Could Be the Perfect Next Step

Supply teaching offers the flexibility and freedom that many teachers are searching for. Whether you're looking for a better work-life balance, exploring your options after leaving a permanent role, or simply want to rediscover your passion for teaching, supply can provide the fresh start you need.

With supply teaching, you can:

✔ Focus on teaching without the additional pressures of a full-time role
✔ Enjoy greater flexibility over when and where you work
✔ Gain experience across a variety of schools and settings
✔ Improve your work-life balance
✔ Decide whether you want short-term, long-term, or day-to-day assignments
