Fantastic alternative provision with a creative focus and amazing staff - Teacher The Complete Works Employee Review

Good interview process and got a job offer

They never offered me a formal contract, yet continued inviting me to a “first day” induction. They asked to take my photo, view my DBS, add me to the team, and have me start work without any signed agreement. I had already completed the reference and vetting checks, but even then, no formal contract was provided. They appeared very eager for me to begin, despite my repeated requests for the contract they had promised. Based on my experience, I would advise others to be cautious.

I've been working at TCW for 8 years, and it's been inspiring to witness the continuous and relevant improvements made every year. Leadership is genuinely committed to creating a positive and respectful work environment, where both staff and student voices are not only heard but truly valued. I also love the creative energy that runs throughout the school. We're encouraged to bring new ideas to the table, collaborate across departments, and contribute meaningfully to school culture and innovation. This openness promotes a vibrant, team-oriented atmosphere where everyone feels they have something valuable to offer. There’s also a strong focus on professional growth. The support systems and relevant training opportunities have consistently helped me grow in my role. Teachers come from a wide range of backgrounds, and this diversity enriches both our workplace and the learning experiences we provide for students.

In the past, there were occasional issues with miscommunication, but this has improved remarkably. Current systems and leadership efforts have significantly strengthened communication and clarity across all departments and areas.
