Supporting former teachers back into the classroom

As many of you will know, around 17,000 former teachers return to the classroom each year. To assist teacher returners, free support is available for any qualified former teacher needing help to navigate the process, build confidence and find the right position for them. Alongside the Return to teaching Advisory service, which provides free one-to-one support for qualified former teachers, including help with writing applications and preparing for interviews, we would like to share this Return to Teaching Stakeholder Toolkit with you. The toolkit provides case studies, logos, and newsletter and digital content you can use to promote the service on your website or through your networks. Please do help us to promote the service to bring more great teachers back into the classroom. If you have any questions about the toolkit, please contact returnto.teaching@education.gov.uk.

Returning to teaching might be easier than you think. If you’re qualified to teach and interested in getting back into the classroom, support is available. Find out how you can Return to Teaching. And when you’re ready you can search for a job on Teaching Vacancies.
