Work life and family friendly policies We are committed to driving forward flexible working opportunities across our Trust to ensure we meet the work-life balance requirements of a diverse applicant market. We are open to discussing flexible working at hiring point. We believe flexible working enables us to attract and retain the best talent to enable the very best outcomes for the young people in our schools. This could include: flexible hours, compressed hours, agile working, remote working, hybrid working, staggered start and finish times and the ability to attend meetings virtually.We offer all staff an enhanced sick pay scheme and candidates moving from the public sector without a break in service can be reassured that continuous service will be honoured. We offer generous enhanced maternity leave, shared parental leave and paternity leave. We recognise staff have commitments outside of school so we have developed a special leave policy which allows staff to apply for paid time off to attend significant events. |

Annual leave We offer term time and term time plus working for our Associate staff, dependent on their role, in addition we offer a generous holiday allowance of 26 days annual leave, plus 8 days bank holiday. This increases to 28 days after 2 years service and 30 days after 5 years’ service. Part time employees will receive their entitlement pro-rata’d. GLF Schools recognises continuous service from other maintained schools and academies on a discretionary basis. |

Community and Collaboration With 43 schools currently within our Trust, opportunities to share and collaborate is highly encouraged and facilitated. We have different forums to support the sharing of expertise including MAT subject leader forums, SEND forums, ECT forums, Headteacher forums and role focussed forums. Our operations teams also attend networking sessions to ensure all schools within GLF Schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing knowledge. |

Valued Worker Scheme GLF Schools is proud to be approved by NASUWT and endorsed by other unions for becoming accredited via the Valued Worker Scheme. This shows our commitment to staff welfare and well-being. GLF Schools was also the first MAT in our locality to sign up to a Joint Consultative Committee with our Unions, ensuring we work in partnership with them and seek their input when creating our staff related policies and initiatives. |
