jt Employee Wellbeing

Our people are our priority. Without them, we simply would not be the success story we are today. We therefore understand how important it is to listen to our employees and take on board their valuable feedback. Being awarded by Great Place to Work as a Best UK Workplace , Best UK Workplace for Wellbeing and Best UK Workplace for Women , is a huge testament to how seriously we take staff Wellbeing. We offer our staff a wide range of benefits to assist with their Physical, Financial and Mental Health Wellbeing.

A message from our leader...

"Being a great workplace is more than lavish perks, fancy parties and amazing benefits that is only a small part of it. At its core, a great workplace is about the level of trust that our employees experience in our justteachers leaders, the level of pride they have in their jobs and the extent to which they experience camaraderie with their colleagues. Our wellbeing programme is something I am particularly proud of and indicative of the importance we place on maintaining a healthy work/life balance."

We work incredibly hard to make sure our employees are heard and for them to know that their feedback is valuable.

Caroline Cafferty, Managing Director

We encourage open and honest discussions about how we are all feeling

Justteachers are committed to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of all our staff and as such we now have two justteachers Well being Champions who will make their introductions to you soon after you have joined and settled into justteachers. As well as explaining our full wellbeing programme to you, they are also available to signpost you to external Mental Health and Wellbeing resources, should you so require

We believe in nurturing an open and honest culture from the get go of your employment with justteachers and we believe it is important for every single member of staff to feel that they have someone within the business that they can turn to in times of need

Your wellbeing matters to us.

Having dedicated, mental health first aid trained Wellbeing Champions is a fantastic resource for new starters across justteachers. In those early days, whilst finding your feet, it can often feel quite daunting we have all been there. Rest assured, we are all here to support you on your journey with jt.

We have such a wealth of benefits within our wellbeing programme, so it's important that you utilise them and the support available to you.

I'm really proud to be an ambassador for wellbeing in our workplace I am available as a point of contact for anyone who wishes to discuss our programme, as well as being able to signpost you to resources that may help in managing your overall wellbeing in the workplace.

justteachers prides itself on the wellbeing and work/life balance initiatives that we have implemented, which is further validated through numerous awards that we have won over the last 5 years.

I think it is really important for all new starters across the company to understand that support is there for them from day one. The easily accessible resources we have to offer within the wellbeing programme for mental health, physical and financial health should be used by all employees across the company.

If anyone wishes to have a confidential chat with me about our programme or the resources available to them, I am more than happy to be contacted to arrange a chat.
