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 separate options, 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. More information coming soon.
The FREE Monthly Mailing List - A separate email service available to all educators, sharing roles each month 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. You’ll learn how to find genuine remote opportunities; which employers often have vacancies that offer homeworking that would be suitable for those who have worked as a teacher or teaching assistant; how to identify your transferable skills, and how to approach every step of the application and recruitment process. You’ll also find an editable CV template, provided by a CV writer with over 20 years of experience and cover letter example used in my own employment journey that allowed me to turn a fully officed based job into a primarily remote role over 200 miles away from the office.
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.
