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.
"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."
Caroline Cafferty, Managing Director
We work incredibly hard to make sure our employees are heard and for them to know that their feedback is valuable.
Justteachers are committed to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of all our staff and as such we now have two justteachers Wellbeing 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.
