Now Teach

Who we are

Our long-term vision is a world where children benefit because talented people, who’ve already had successful careers, become teachers, and bring their skills and experiences to the schools that need them most. We support Now Teachers, training providers, schools, and the wider education system to realise the full potential of career-changers in education.

Career changers bring new experiences into the classroom, but they often need support to complete their training and stay in teaching. We offer Now Teachers one-to-one support, alongside a comprehensive structured programme helping them change careers successfully.

Our support helps Now Teachers stay in teaching: our retention rate is almost twice the national average for 40–65-year-olds. Over 90% of our cohort are satisfied or very satisfied with the support they get from Now Teach.

On completion of our two-year career change programme our support continues through our member-led Now Teach Network, there to help Now Teachers make the most of their experience and skills as career changers for the benefit of schools and students.

We are looking for driven and committed people to help us meet new goals, increase our Networks’ reach, and support us to create more impact in schools.
