As most teachers will tell you, there’s no such thing as a typical day at work. That’s because no two days are the same – you’re unlikely ever to be bored by a lack of variety teaching in the Further Education and Lifelong Learning sector. It’s also a career that offers great benefits, opportunities for you to use a wide range of skills and inspire students in the subject you love.
You may remember a truly brilliant teacher from school who made a real difference to your life. As a teacher you can use your knowledge and passion for your subject to help those unlock capabilities and talents that they didn’t even know they had.
You’ll develop a wide range of transferable skills for yourself in the process, too. In addition to planning and teaching a range of engaging lessons, you can indulge in your hobbies and interests as part of your work by getting involved in enrichment and extra-curricular activities.
Once you’ve qualified as a teacher, the Department for Education has made it easier to find a teaching role via the Teaching Vacancies service. You can search by location, subject, job title and salary – view the range of teaching roles currently available across England.
