Raheem Pillay, Research Executive
Having flexible working hours has been really beneficial to me so that I can easily balance my personal and professional life. It allows me to take time when I need it and as long as I work the hours everyone’s happy. I’ve found this to be a real benefit of working here especially during the last 2 years.
HEKA has also been an extremely convenient service, One of the options I use is the mindful chef which allows me to order healthy ready made meals. It helps me to look after myself.’
Loren Nadin, Senior Partnerships Manager – South
One of the things I love about working here is that there is enough autonomy to be able to innovate and try new things, yet enough support to flourish. I learn best by getting stuck in and by working in a collaborative environment where challenges and ideas can be discussed – I get the opportunity for both of those in abundance at GfS!
Julie Thiberg, Head of Partnerships & Impact
When I started with Governors for Schools, I was thrilled to have found an organisation who truly understands the importance of work-life balance. I love that I can be with my children in those special moments (school plays, science competitions etc.) knowing that my employer supports me all the way, and I can return to my desk feeling positive and motivated.
