Can you see yourself in our shoes? Join our work supporting schools deliver a great education to children and young people.
Working with us
Our core purpose connects our HFL community; supporting and developing our colleagues to realise real change in education and add value to young people’s lives.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders; we take immense pride in working closely with schools and trusts to provide a broad portfolio of events, products and services which enable them to deliver high-quality teaching and learning at all levels.
We’re passionate about extending our offer and our reach, supporting more educational settings to continue widening the impact of our work. We’re driven and we value collaboration, innovation, and creativity - and we reward success, endeavour, and commitment.
If this vision connects with you, then you sound like the sort of person we’d like to meet.
We don’t do off-the-peg, and we don’t do one-size-fits all. What we look for when we hire a new colleague is someone who shares our passion for, and commitment to, finding innovative ways of working that have children and those who teach them at their heart.
In return, we’ll offer you a warm welcome and a friendly, supportive environment where you can feel connected to the heart of our collective ambition and play your part in shaping our future, whether you’re working directly alongside our clients - or in one of our support services enabling your colleagues to deliver.
Our community is of paramount importance to us. In our pursuit of excellence in serving our schools, settings and trusts we are equally dedicated to caring for our colleagues.
