Why work for us

We aim to provide a positive and challenging environment through which staff can develop and enjoy fulfilling careers.

We are proud of our record in attracting, developing and retaining high-quality staff and aim to provide a career path of personal and professional development with outstanding training, excellent resources and support.

Although we always look for the very best professionals to join each school's team from the national and international pool of talent, opportunities for internal promotion remain common.

The Principals who currently lead the ESF schools were all promoted to their first headships from within the Foundation, demonstrating the level of confidence that we have in their ability.

Newly appointed employees joining the Emmanuel Schools Foundation can look forward to being part of a close-knit multi-functional team, operating in support of our schools across the North East, from Northumberland down to South Yorkshire.

Together, we provide day-to-day practical support and operational delivery of a varied and challenging educational curriculum in the following areas:

  • Teaching and Learning
  • Finance
  • Facilities Management
  • IT
  • Human Resources
  • Business Development
  • Catering
  • Uniform provision and sales
  • Administration
