If you leave the UK for the purposes of full time employment abroad and do not visit to carry out any duties in the UK other than "merely incidental" duties then you will be regarded as non resident from the date you leave the UK..
Whether you then have an on-going requirement to complete UK tax returns depends on what other income you have in the UK. For example if you rent your house out while you are away you will have rental income and will still need to pay UK tax and submit a UK tax return.
