At Odyssey Collaborative Trust, we are committed to being a great place to work, supporting and valuing everyone who works with us, including colleagues, volunteers, partner schools and external organisations.

Our colleagues tell us that they value working in schools where they feel supported, respected and able to give their best every day and visitors and volunteers in our schools tell us they feel welcomed,  valued and included. Across the Trust, staff benefit from strong relationships, a sense of belonging and opportunities to collaborate, share expertise and learn from one another.

Working for Odyssey means being part of a Trust that values professionalism and care in equal measure. Our colleagues tell us that they appreciate being listened to and understood, and that every role is recognised as important. While each school has its own character and identity, colleagues also value the connection, stability and shared learning that comes from being part of a wider organisation.

Our colleagues tell us that wellbeing and balance matter. As an employer, we are clear about our responsibilities to support manageable workload, fair expectations and positive working relationships. We also invest in professional development, giving colleagues the opportunity to grow, take on new challenges and develop their careers over time.

Above all, our colleagues tell us that Odyssey is a Trust where people matter. We want staff to feel proud of the work they do, confident in their role and supported throughout their journey with us.
