Now Teach recruits experienced professionals into teaching. We connect career changers and returners to work with teacher training providers. Collaboration with both throughout training ensures Now Teachers remain in the profession long term.

The Now Teach network develops dedicated teachers for schools, bringing diversity and valuable real-world experience to the class and to the staff room. We tailor our recruitment process to career changers and have developed a programme of wrap-around support for our network.

Founded in 2016, we are a not-for-profit charity with a vision to inspire talented people to bring their experience into education and help eradicate inequality of opportunity.

Set up in the midst of a teacher recruitment crisis, our goal is to normalise career change into teaching for the mutual benefit of pupils, schools and new entrants into the profession.

Since our founding, Now Teach has expanded to become an England-wide organisation. Since 2016, we have brought over 650 experienced professionals into Education, including the newest cohort of 144 trainees in 2022. Previous trainees have included MPs, CEOs, and a NASA scientist and return to work parents.
