Discover what we can offer you
Would you like to work nine days but be paid for ten? What really sets The Highcrest Academy apart
is our teachers: their passion drives our progress and transforms the way we
think and work and in return, we are committed to their well-being and mental
health. We understand the pressures that
working in education can place on individuals and are always looking for ways
to improve working conditions and offer our staff incentives that are not
always available in education.
From September 2024, we will be implementing a 9-day working
fortnight for all staff. The premise is simple, you will work nine days but be
paid for ten, using the tenth day to ‘reset’, and thus giving you the
opportunity to manage your work-life balance more effectively. You will also enjoy a Wellness Day to relax
and unwind every year in addition to school holidays.
In addition, we offer significant investment in your
professional development and the possibility of onsite accommodation if you
need to relocate. You can also expect facilities that are second to none,
including an excellent canteen, gym and coffee shop, but above all, you will
relish the satisfaction of transforming futures and helping our students
overcome obstacles to experience life to the full.
