Thinking about September 2026… but not quite sure what the right move looks like yet?
You're not alone.
As the summer holidays approach, many teachers across Winchester and the surrounding areas are beginning to think about what September might look like. Some are already planning their next move, while others are simply keeping an eye on what's available.
Whether you're actively looking or just curious about your options, now is an ideal time to start exploring the market before schools begin their main recruitment activity for the new academic year.
At Quokka Education, we support secondary teachers across Winchester, Alresford, Kings Worthy, Bishop's Waltham, Chandler's Ford, Stockbridge and surrounding Hampshire areas with:
* Permanent teaching opportunities for September 2026
* Long-term supply positions, many of which lead to permanent appointments
* Opportunities across a wide range of secondary schools and academies
We believe finding the right role should feel straightforward, supportive and personal.
No pressure. No hard sell. Just honest conversations about where you are in your career and what you might want next.
What we can help with
* Confidentially introducing your profile to local schools
* Giving you access to a variety of opportunities across Winchester and Hampshire
* Helping you identify schools that align with your teaching style, values and career goals
* Providing insight into local schools, leadership teams and recruitment plans
What working with us feels like
* We actively represent you to schools rather than simply sending vacancies
* No need to complete endless applications for every opportunity
* Support with CV advice, interview preparation and offer discussions
* Honest conversations about salary, progression and school culture
* A relationship-led service built on trust, transparency and communication
What you'll gain
* Access to permanent and long-term teaching opportunities across the Winchester area
* A more personalised and efficient job search
* Valuable knowledge of the local education market
* Honest feedback throughout the process
* The opportunity to secure the right role before competition increases later in the year
A quick note on pay
Wherever possible, we work with schools that recognise and reward teacher experience appropriately.
We always aim to secure pay in line with the relevant teacher pay scales rather than reduced or flat rates.
Who we're speaking to
* Qualified secondary teachers (QTS, QTLS or equivalent)
* ECTs looking to secure their first permanent position
* Experienced teachers considering a fresh challenge
* Teachers across all subject specialisms including English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Languages, PE, Arts and Technology
* Those looking for a school where they can genuinely thrive
If you've found yourself wondering whether there's something better out there, now is a great time to have a conversation.
There's no expectation to make a move. Sometimes it's simply helpful to understand what's available and where you stand in the current market.
