Overview
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. 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. Whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, join #teamOFG.

About the Role

Our schools are unique environments, each with its own special atmosphere and range of opportunities. Teachers enjoy becoming part of their school’s ‘family’, exploring the potential of the building and environment, and getting to know the brilliant pupils in our care. You will enjoy building caring relationships and liaising with fellow professionals, whether they are colleagues in the same school or from the pupils’ previous educational establishments.
