Our DEIB and Flexible Working

We are passionate about flexible working in education, as both a recruitment and a retention tool for all educators, at every level, for all identities. With the passing of the Flexible Working Bill in April 2024 it has become a hot topic for educational employers and HR teams.

Our Partner

Lucy Rose and Lindsay Patience are founders of Flexible Teacher Talent:

  • Supporting schools to normalise flexible working and retain effective teachers
  • Supporting effective teachers to work flexibly and improve pupil outcomes
