Working at Big Life Schools

Big Life Schools is a Multi-Academy Trust which functions as part of the wider Big Life Group, and we share those group-led values within our school communities. At Big Life Schools, work is more than a job it’s about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with people and communities, making a difference every day. We fight for equity in health, in wealth and in life, and that commitment starts with our staff.

Be yourself

We want you to feel safe, respected and able to bring your whole self to work. Difference is celebrated here, and our staff networks - from menopause to neurodiversity, LGBTQI+ and more - create space to connect and support each other.

Benefits that matter

We offer more than a payslip - you’ll find wellbeing support through LifeWorks, Simply Health and mindfulness sessions, your birthday off, and regular learning opportunities. Everyday perks include Blue Light Card discounts, savings schemes, cycle-to-work, free eye tests and more - little extras to make life easier inside and outside of work.

Recognised as outstanding

We’re proud to be ranked by Best Companies as one of the UK’s outstanding places to work, with a two-star accreditation in 2024.

Support and progression

We work with all our teaching and support staff to explore ways of reducing workload and improving wellbeing. When joining our schools, you can expect a range of support from senior leaders, who operate a coaching model, and from the dedicated curriculum and wellbeing leads.

If you’re looking for more than a job - if you want to be part of a team that’s bold, creative and relentlessly committed to equity then Big Life could be the place for you.
