A New Direction for Teachers and Education Professionals

If you are a teacher or education professional looking for more flexibility, independence and a role where your communication and people skills are genuinely valued, this could be the ideal next step. Many people from educational backgrounds are choosing careers that offer better work life balance, autonomy and the chance to apply their strengths in a different setting. This role provides all of that and more.

We are looking for motivated individuals with strong presentation and relationship-building skills to join us as Direct Sales Representatives. This is a self-employed, work-from-home position where you will use the abilities you have developed in teaching clarity, confidence, empathy, organisation and adaptability to communicate effectively with customers and guide them through information. These skills translate exceptionally well into direct sales.

No direct sales experience is required. Full training, mentoring and ongoing support are provided.

What You Will Be Doing

From day one, your responsibilities will include:

  • Speaking with customers via phone or video calls

  • Presenting products and services clearly and professionally

  • Answering customer questions and guiding them through relevant information

  • Providing basic after-sales support where required

  • Building rapport and maintaining positive customer relationships

  • Following structured training, company guidelines and ethical standards

  • Working independently to meet agreed activity or performance goals

This is a work-from-home role only. There are no field sales, door-to-door activities or office-based duties involved.

Why Teachers Excel Here

Teachers naturally possess many of the qualities that lead to success in direct sales. These include strong communication, clear presentation, empathy, active listening, confidence speaking with different personalities, professionalism, organisation and the ability to learn new information quickly. If you are comfortable explaining ideas, supporting others and building relationships, you already have a significant advantage.

Progression Opportunity

Everyone joining the company begins in the sales role described above. As you demonstrate strong performance, professionalism and leadership qualities, you may have the opportunity to take on additional responsibility. This can include progressing into a Team Leader position, where you support and guide other team members. Any progression depends entirely on suitability and results and is not part of a formal management training programme.

What We Offer

  • Full training, mentoring and ongoing support

  • Competitive commission structure for completed sales

  • Additional performance-based incentives

  • A flexible schedule that fits around your lifestyle

  • The ability to work from anywhere in the UK

  • The potential to progress into team leadership if suitable

What We Are Looking For

We welcome applications from individuals with teaching, coaching, mentoring or student-support experience. The ideal candidate will have strong communication and people skills, confidence when speaking on the phone or through video calls, motivation, resilience and a positive attitude. You should be willing to learn new skills, work independently, manage your own time and demonstrate professionalism.

Important Information

  • This is a self-employed, commission-only direct sales role

  • There is no basic salary; earnings are based entirely on performance and activity

  • Customer support tasks may be included as part of the sales process

  • Full training, mentoring and ongoing development support are provided

  • You must be able to work independently and manage your own schedule
