All young people are equally entitled to have their needs met in a fair and balanced way. Esland employees are responsible for promoting equal opportunities for all and for challenging any behaviour or practice which discriminates against any young person or colleague on the grounds of race, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other perceived difference.
Financial security
- Competitive salary (£37,137 to £43,194 DOE), reviewed annually
- Esland education pension scheme double matched up to 20% (total contribution up to 30%)
