We recruit and retain staff by investing in their professional development through training and progression opportunities. Our schools and colleges will offer a friendly, caring environment with high expectations, aspirations and supporting the highest levels of achievement.

Our Trust will work through partnership with employers, community groups and other agencies to make the Tees Valley a great place to live, learn and work.

We are passionate about staff wellbeing as we value and care about our workforce and believe wellbeing is at the heart of championing better working lives.

We have recently trained a number of staff to be staff-focussed Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA). This is an internationally recognised approach that teaches us to spot the first signs and symptoms of common mental health problems and to guide individuals to appropriate help and support.
