PASTURES NEW?

Last week marked the official resignation dates for schools. As ever, the preceding three weeks brought an upsurge in enquiries to our Contact Centre about issues related to retirement, resignation, leaving the profession and finding a new job.

Whether you were amongst those who have decided to move onto pastures new or are simply mulling over your long-term options, Teacher Support Network can provide the support that you need.

Decisions on calling an end to your career or simply leaving a familiar working environment and teaching elsewhere can be extremely difficult to make and take their toll on your emotional wellbeing. Remember our coaches are available 24 hours a day throughout the year to help you through such complicated periods.
