How would you like to get
paid for five days, but only work
four? At

why we're proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4 DWW) trial,
where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours),
while still receiving your full-time
pay. Many
of our schools have already introduced the 4 DWW — and others are
preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So,
whether it's already in place or just around the corner, now's the
perfect time to join
