DfE- Return to Teaching Pilot

Are you looking to recruit Secondary Physics, Maths and MFL teachers (including community languages)?
Are you looking to support teachers returning to the classroom?
If so, we can help you!

The Return to Teaching programme, funded by the Department for Education (DfE), is supporting qualified teachers to return to teach.
Each teacher receives individual, bespoke support from a Return to Teaching Advisor (RTTA), and are offered the opportunity to do Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST) courses, and other courses with associations such as the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Maths in Education and Industry (MEI), so they can get up to date with the curriculum, pedagogy and assessment for their subject.
We also help returning teachers arrange classroom observation and teaching experience, and support them to make applications for teaching posts.

How we can help:
• We can offer you potential candidates for your current or future teaching vacancies with no cost
• We will highlight your vacancies to returning teachers in your area, and support them to apply
• We have returning teachers who are available now and are looking for flexible or part-time working – see guidance here:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/flexible-working-in-schools

How you can help:
• Offering taster days and longer term classroom observation and teaching experience to returning teachers
• Encouraging returning teachers (of any phase or subject) to register their details with us so we can provide them with advice and guidance: www.education.gov.uk/returners
• Bid for funding to run Teacher Subject Specialism Training (TSST) courses: www.gov.uk/guidance/teacher-subject-specialism-training-funding-for-schools
