WORKING WITH US

We recruit for a wide range of posts across education leadership, teaching, support staff, and our head office central team. Regardless of your career stage or role, we will support and develop your skills through a highly experienced team of leaders, including executive principals, mentors, and subject specialists.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
At Harris, teams are encouraged to innovate and find ways to do what best suits the education of the young people we serve. We have a culture of sharing best practice and believe there is no better place to grow your career.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
Harris has a strong culture of collaboration and best practice, with professional development and career planning at its centre. We invest in our staff with support, coaching, mentoring, and a wide range of top-quality training programmes delivered at every level.
You will also have access to various benefits, support programmes, and initiatives, including:
* Excellent opportunities for continuous professional development and career progression
* Annual performance and loyalty bonus
* Pension scheme (Local Government Pension Scheme) with generous employer contribution
* 26 days' annual leave (inclusive of our Christmas Eve closure day) plus bank holidays, rising to 27 days after 2 years' service, or equivalent for staff on term-time contracts
* Harris Wellbeing Cash Plan including cover for routine and specialist healthcare
* Employee Assistance Programme for free and confidential advice
* Cycle to work salary sacrifice scheme
* Wide range of shopping, leisure, and travel discounts
* 20% off at Tapi Carpets, exclusive to Harris employees

OUR VISION & VALUES
Our vision has been to provide the structure and services needed for our schools to amount to more than the sum of their parts, allowing our teachers and leaders to focus solely on the outstanding education of all their pupils. Our young people and communities are at the heart of everything we do. Our core mission is to close the educational gap between young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers.
We know there are many challenges facing our young people and communities, which is why we need determined people like you to help tackle those inequalities. While each of our academies has its unique cultures and values, we have four core values central to achieving our vision: Excellence, Collaboration, Support, and Innovation.
