Work Benefits

We focus on creating and maintaining a culture which is conducive to employees thriving and flourishing in their workplace.

Open-Door Leadership

All Trust and academy leaders are committed to being personable, approachable and collaborative, to ensure that all employees feel well-informed and heard.

High Quality Induction

All employees receive an induction experience, in line with Trust policy, which helps them settle quickly, succeed in their jobs roles and experience a genuine sense of belonging in their respective workplace and wider MAT family.

Continuous Professional Development

High quality CPD for all staff is a hallmark of all Primitas academies, to ensure that employees are professionally equipped to fulfil their roles and develop their careers to the best of their ability.

This local provision is enhanced by Trust-wide opportunities which are integral to the Primitas School Improvement Strategy. These include our Spotlight Sessions, our Extended CPD Programme, our Leadership Development Programme, our Networking Meetings, our Peer Review Strategy and our NPQ Programme.

We offer various apprenticeship schemes supporting individuals to achieve recognised qualifications whilst learning in a supportive environment ‘on the job’.

Staff Recognition & Praise

All Trust and academy leaders are committed to ensuring that staff are appropriately and regularly acknowledged for their achievements and positive contributions. This recognition can be high-profile or low-key, and formal or informal but always seeks to be personalised, intentional and genuine.

Managing Staff Workload

All Trust and academy leaders are committed to ensuring that staff can give sufficient attention to the crucial, the key aspects of their jobs, without unwelcome or unnecessary distractions or burdens, whilst maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

Feel-Good Initiatives

Our Trust believes it is important that there is a tangible sense of community, fun and enjoyment in the workplace which helps create a positive buzz amongst our employees’ working lives. This means colleagues can expect to be surprised by fun and friendly activities in their time with us.

Flexible Working

 Primitas is proud to have a central Flexible Working Policy and associated Working from Home Policy to ensure that our employees are empowered to request flexible working arrangements, wherever feasible, and to ensure that they will be taken seriously and considered fairly.
