Dont know your financial situation but you could try what in theory me and the ex were going to do (in the end we divorced and she’s still teaching, long story). I kept teaching a few days a week supply, mostly A-Level support stuff and the odd Ks3 class. Took out a student loan and went back and did a Masters in something I was interested in and there was demand for. Before the Masters I couldn’t get an interview and didn’t know where to go, the whole graduate process really helped put me back into industry, and going back to education after teaching is like easy mode.
I only earned around £10k plus what was left of my loan after fees, but had quite low living costs and a partner in HoD money still so could make it work. If the marriage had lasted the idea was to do the same for the other person.
Best thing was having the time with my girls that after being a HoD I’d missed completely.
