Abstract
The UK Government has expressed a commitment to the wellbeing of teachers in all sectors of education (Department of Education, 2021) and while teachers themselves have a passion for their profession, they also experience symptoms of significant stress and depression (Health and Safety Executive, 2021). This is of particular note in Further Education where they report high levels of anxiety and the lowest levels of positive wellbeing (Education Policy Institute, 2020). Much attention is paid to the professionalism of teachers and the privileging of institutional management systems and government mandates, such as accountability and performative measures. Less is paid to the working lives and wellbeing of those who often work in challenging circumstances. This study therefore sets out to explore the wellbeing experiences of six teachers in one institution of Further Education (UK).
