Supporting our Workforce

At Waterton Academy Trust, we are committed to nurturing and supporting our workforce through a comprehensive approach that prioritises employee wellbeing, professional growth, and career development.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and so we ensure that our employees have access to a range of employee benefits, are supported through our wellbeing charter, and that they have continuous opportunities for training and development.

Our People Strategy is designed to create a positive and fulfilling work environment where every staff member can thrive. We offer professional development programs and specialised training sessions, as well as a range of professional learning networks for colleagues working in our schools. As an outstanding apprenticeship provider, we are proud to train the next generation of Teaching Assistants and Early Years Educators, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their roles. We are also dedicated to developing future teachers and leaders. If you are interested in starting a career in education, please contact  itt@watertonacademytrust.org for more information.

Our excellent HR team, led by our Head of HR and supported by our Head of People and Partnerships, plays a crucial role in delivering this support. They work tirelessly to ensure that every employee feels valued and supported, providing guidance on everything from employee benefits to career progression. Whether it’s through our wellbeing initiatives or our professional development opportunities, we are dedicated to fostering a culture where our workforce can achieve their fullest potential.
