Job Search Support for Teachers and TAs Leaving the Classroom
Are you a teacher or teaching assistant looking to leave the classroom for a more flexible role that offers home working?
The Work From Home Hub offers a range of individual products and services, each designed specifically for teachers and TAs. These are separarte resources, so you can choose the support that suits you best:
The Job Search Guide - A step‑by‑step guide to finding and securing a work from home or flexible role outside the classroom.
The Workshop - A session that complements the guide, supporting you through the process of exploring roles beyond the education sector.
The FREE Monthly Mailing List - A monthly email for educators, sharing roles that suit the transferable skills of teachers, TAs, and similar professionals, all offering home working options.
Explore this page to learn more about each option and choose the support that works for you.
This guide is here to make your transition into a role outside of the classroom clearer and far more achievable than it might feel right now.
Whether you’re a teacher, teaching assistant, or other educator exploring flexible roles that allow homeworking, you already have the skills employers are looking for. The challenge isn’t your ability, it is knowing where to look, how to position yourself, and how to navigate a job market that speaks a different language to the education industry.
This guide breaks everything down step by step, including:
finding genuine remote/flexible opportunities - where to look and how to spot the real ones
discovering employers - access to a curated list of employers who often advertise remote or flexible roles suited to teachers, TAs, and similar professionals
identifying your transferable skills and understanding how to present them confidently
navigating the full application process - from application to interview to offer and other potential steps in between

As part of your purchase, you’ll receive free updates and additions to this guide for 12 months. Whenever new content, improvements, or bonus resources are added, you’ll get access automatically at no extra cost.
These live sessions are designed specifically for teachers and TAs who want structured support as they explore roles beyond the classroom. The workshop is for those who have purchased the Job Search Guide, so we can dive straight into applying the strategies and tools outlined in the guide.
Each workshop lasts around 2.5 hours, with an additional 30 minutes for questions, including anything specific to your circumstances.
Tickets are £16.50, and the workshops are held live on Zoom.
