What the school offers its staff
Professional Capital: ‘We believe in getting the right people, getting them to work together and getting them to stay’ Strategy Description Putting your trust in our Trust We believe in your development. Everything we do is about creating a team of committed professionals who share our ambition for young people. If you believe in this too, we are committed to providing an exciting, enjoyable and rewarding working environment. Coaching Coaching is integral to our success. We support colleagues through coaching; enabling deep reflection, which has allowed us to build a bold, creative and aspirational culture, where collaboration with peers and new approaches to practice are encouraged. Personal Improvement Plan versus Performance Management Instead of the usual performance management, we encourage our staff to identify aspirational targets through our ‘Personal Improvement Plan’ (PIP) process. With your coach, you will look to make significant progress in a critical area of your practice; we believe in valuing the process of improvement not pass or fail numerical targets. Health and Wellbeing Strategies Having happy and healthy staff is key to a successful organisation. The Trust is committed to: • providing employees with a safe, healthy and supportive environment in which to work • recognising that the health and wellbeing of our employees is important • providing a supportive workplace culture where healthy lifestyle choices are valued and encouraged We believe it is important that we are role models to our students of how to be a healthy adult. We actively promote the importance of a work life balance, offering support to staff on managing stress and workload, as well as a physical activity programme. Access to coaching, counselling and supervision is also available to all staff. Presumed Professionalism We have a ‘Presumed Professionalism’ ethos across the Trust. Our staff are professional educators and we recognise the need to support staff to enable a healthy work life balance to allow maximum impact whilst working with our young people and each other. We achieve this by allowing staff to sign out during their free periods, as long as professional duties are not affected. See our policy for further details. 5 Our offer to new staff joining The LiFE Multi Academy Trust and our schools (continued) Development of Professional Capital and Excellence As a Trust we always look to invest in our staff and pride ourselves on our ‘home grown talent’. We pride ourselves on this and believe this has the biggest impact on how our staff understand their communities and make a difference to the lives of our young people. Quite simply, our aim is to employ people who match our ethos and values and enable them to truly collaborate with colleagues across the Trust so that they are satisfied professionally. We provide outstanding training pathways which draw on excellence both within and outside of our Trust to enable you to build your professional capital. Examples of the many opportunities we encourage staff to take up externally include : • The National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL) • The National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) • The National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership (NPQML) • The Outstanding Teacher Programme (OTP) • Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Pathways are available at apprenticeship level, NQT, aspiring middle leader, Lead Practitioner and aspiring senior leader level. Some of these courses are led by staff within the Trust and others are externally accredited. In addition, the Trust provides the opportunity of becoming an associate SLT member, enabling middle leaders to gain insight and experience of leadership at the highest level within a school. Support staff have their own Personal Improvement Plan that they use as a tool to create a bespoke professional development plan. All support staff also receive Coaching and training opportunities, in order to help them feel empowered and in charge of their own development. Across the Trust we pride ourselves on equal opportunities for all staff, irrespective of background, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age.
