How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four? The Outcomes First Group supports 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.

This vacancy has come about due to our school becoming part of Outcomes First Group and having the ability to expand. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic group of colleagues within a growing organisation, with potential for further career opportunities and personal development.
