This is what makes Inspire a fantastic place to grow and thrive in your career.

At Inspire Education Trust, staff wellbeing is at the heart of what we do, and this commitment is reflected in the wide range of benefits and support we offer. Some of the highlights include:
- Flexible and family-friendly policies: We offer a generous approach to appointments, family events, and sports days, ensuring staff can maintain a healthy work-life balance.
- Enhanced wellbeing support: From 8 free counselling sessions to access to a wellbeing app and mental health first aiders, we provide tools to support emotional and mental health.
- Workload management: Initiatives like regularly reviewed calendars, dedicated classrooms for teaching staff, and a measured approach to lesson drop-ins help reduce unnecessary stress.
- Career and personal development: We actively encourage career growth and provide opportunities for physical activity, prayer, and social events, fostering a holistic approach to staff satisfaction.
- Financial support and incentives: With a generous pension contribution of over 23%, enhanced paternity leave, and increased holiday allowances for long service, we recognise and reward our team.
This kind of support matters because it demonstrates that we value our staff not just as professionals but as individuals with unique needs and aspirations. By investing in their wellbeing and creating a supportive environment, we empower our team to thrive both personally and professionally, which in turn strengthens our schools and the education we provide.
