How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four? At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance - and we're putting wellbeing first. That's why we're proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.
Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW - and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So, whether it's already in place or just around the corner, now's the perfect time to join #teamOFG.
Are you interested in being a part of an innovative and dynamic work setting with a great work life balance? Do you possess a strong passion for supporting pupils to achieve their full potential?
