You can switch to teaching as a career
There's never been a better time to consider a career change to teaching in a public school.
The hours are convenient and flexible; the holidays coincide with your children's holidays; and employment opportunities look good long into the future, particularly in early childhood education, and secondary maths and science teaching.
You can find out if you're suited to life as a teacher through a taster day or work shadowing.
A taster day takes you into a school to move through a range of classes and talk with a number of teachers.
Work shadowing lets you spend two days in a school where your career experience and training will be tailored to suit your particular area of interest.
