Thrive at HSLT

Our vision for Workforce Development

We know that great teaching changes lives. At Hope Sentamu Learning Trust, we believe that our workforce is our greatest resource as our schools are only as good as the people that work in them. As such, we are committed to empowering our workforce to flourish and thrive, enabling us to transform both the schools and the lives of the young people we serve by:

• Attracting new entrants to the profession and recruiting the very best people for our schools and central teams.
• Retaining our workforce by creating a supportive culture where colleagues can flourish and thrive.
• Investing in our colleagues to ensure they are nurtured in their early career years and beyond.
• Empowering all colleagues to develop and progress their careers through a strategic and responsive workforce development offer. 
• Providing opportunities that support the development of strong, sustainable and ethical leadership at all levels of our organisation. 
• Celebrating colleagues’ diverse skills, experiences and expertise and creating opportunities to grow together.
• Supporting the wider community to deliver the very best education and transform the lives of all young people.

To achieve this, we work collaboratively with high quality local, regional and national providers and are proud to be an outward facing trust with strong links to our local Teaching School Hubs, Research Schools, universities and wider education partners.
