When James Murgatroyd was 18, he had his whole life mapped out. He was going to meet a girl, get married at 25, own a BMW by the time he was 30. But he became a dad when he was 20. That wasn’t in the plan.
Priorities shifted, and he went to work for a bank, then in local government and social enterprise, before becoming a construction manager. Those jobs paid the bills, but they weren’t his dream gig. Facing down his 50th birthday, James knew he had to make a change. Then the pandemic decimated the construction industry, and James saw his chance.
This is the story of a man who found his true calling later in life. It’s also the story of a guy who seriously loves teaching maths (James’ enthusiasm is totally infectious) and he really cares about making sure working class kids get the opportunities they deserve.
James changed his career with the help of a UK organisation called Transition to Teach. Right now they have a focus on supporting people who are at risk of redundancy move into teaching.
