How would you like to get

At
Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and
we’re putting wellbeing
first.

That’s why
we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) 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 4DWW — 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
