Job Search – Jobs in Universities and FE Colleges

One of the best places to look for jobs in universities, research organisations, FE colleges and charities is jobs.ac.uk. Most of the interviews I had from 2017-2019 were through that site.

It allows you to do a quick search for jobs by keywords and location. If you wish, you can go straight to the Professional / managerial / Support Services category and look for jobs in specific areas such as Administrative, Library Services, IT, Student Services and many more. A teacher with some management experience will satisfy many of the ‘essential experience’ criteria in the Person Specifications. It also allows you to set up email alerts for specific job searches.

If you’re thinking of leaving teaching then the Thinking of Leaving Teaching Group might be a good place to get some ideas. It is a safe place for people to ask for help and advice, discuss topics and share opinions about jobs you can do if you leave teaching.
