Notice Title

Recruitment, transition and retention of late-stage career changers into teaching

Notice Description

See 'Attachments' for full description. The Department for Education (DfE) is exploring potential commercial options to support the recruitment, transition, training and retention of professional late-stage career changers into teaching. The candidate profile that we are aiming to recruit and support are graduates who have had a successful professional career with significant experience in their field which they can bring into a teaching role. This type of candidate requires additional support to make the transition from their current career to the classroom and we are keen to engage with organisations to understand what support is available to aid that transition and maximise the conversion from interest to recruitment. We are also interested in identifying strategies to retain career changers once they enter teaching, and specifically what support can be effective in the NQT year. Additional information: Interested organisations should complete the attached questionnaire and submit it to careerchangerspin@education.gov.uk by 03 April 2018. Please note that this PIN is not a call to competition and the DfE is not bound to enter into any procurement activity because of it.
