Don't want a job that involves travelling round the country.
Having seen the recent news where exam results are back to being too low after being too high and all the crap surrounding it I couldnt be happier I'm not teaching anymore. Have a look on Civil Service Jobs, often they're expecting you to give examples of competancies that teaching provides you with plenty of examples of. E.g. Changes that made a difference, influencing others, etc. Not having my working day divided up rigidly into 90 minute chunks and never speaking to an adult all day are things of the past.
Flexible hours, hybrid working, a computer that works, it's another world. Having just been audited by GIAA even the "oftsed" is better! 🤣
<p style="text-align: left;">Bear in mind that when people say they want a complete change, most want something pretty much the same but with less of the crap and more of the bits that made it attractive to them in the first place.</p>
Nope. Want a complete change.
probably best focusing on what transferable skills teaching has given you to put on your CV..
As others have said, although teaching can give some amazing transferrable skills they're too generic to make you stand out from all the others with quals/relevant experience in other industries.
To the OP. Rather than looking for a new job to jump right into you might need to pick a field and re-train or get some experience. Unless of course, you're happy doing something less skilled.
Digital marketing?
Teaching for 30 years here and felt similar a couple of years ago to a school I had given nearly 20 years of my life to.
Did a polite Reginald Perrin to a very local school and never looked back. Change the pot you are in little frog, all schools are pots, just very different pots and some have warm sun and lily pads and others pike.
Teaching also has the most antiquated way of changing jobs. You"Dear Boss I have an interview next week, so I'll be off that day" - Boss "Thank you for being thoughtful with the advance notice, I wish you the very best of luck, if I can help in anyway, let me know" - You "Yes, help setting my cover work would be great, bye".
Unless of course, you’re happy doing something less skilled.
I'm happy to re train as long as it pays. I'm not interested in climbing the ranks or anything like that. Just want less stress and less responsibility so I have more time to live. Happy to do a 'boring' job. All jobs to me are boring anyway so makes no difference.
They're all 5 days a week. Looking for 3 days a week.
It shouldn't be that hard to find a part time job that doesn't involve driving for hours.
There's 1000's of part time jobs out there. Part-time careers, with minimum stress and a decent wage are a different matter.
Can't you move to a closer school? Even 3 days a week - an hour commute each way would do my head in.
Looked at local colleges but there's nothing suitable. Also, still want out of teaching.
Possibly seems like you maybe trolling. But taking in good faith - have a read of what colour is your parachute. Might help you decide what you want to do next. No one on here will be able to give you the right answer
Not interested in earning loads. Just want a quiet low stress job for a few days a week.
If that's your criteria go and stack shelves in Tesco or something similar.
Ot trolling. Genuinely struggling to find a hob that is part time, not teaching, local ish.
It's more frustration as every job site I've used has awful filters that keep defaulting to stuff I'm not suited to. That's why I asked if there was a site where you can search for all, then filter out what you don't want.
I'm working with Sustrans for a couple of days - they seem a great bunch of people and some really positive projects around cycling and travel. 👍

Recruitment agencies - yes some see them as worse than estate agents - but good ones can match your skills to jobs. But my wife has got several good jobs through them and she's getting jobs pushed her way on a weekly basis.
Have a word with a few and see if you get on with them.
