Why work at HFL?

If you want to make a real difference in education, drive improvement, and add value to young people's lives, then you've come to the right place. The same goal drives everyone at HFL; to realise real change in education. To achieve this, we make the development of our staff a key priority in every role and level.

We take immense pride in working closely with schools and trusts to deliver high-quality products, services and training that delivers demonstrable impacts and enables them to deliver high-quality teaching and learning. We are passionate about extending our reach and supporting as many schools as possible. To that end, we partner with organisations that share our values and make a meaningful impact.

Passionate about equal opportunities

HFL is committed to being an equal opportunities employer and building an equal, diverse and inclusive work environment. We consider equal treatment of all colleagues a priority and strive to eliminate all forms of discrimination from our organisation. We do not tolerate discrimination based on age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, marriage or civil partnership status.

We work hard to eliminate racism from our organisation and promote diversity, equality and inclusion, especially in our recruitment processes. We use an anonymous application process to ensure we always select candidates based on their skills and competencies. When two or more candidates have equal merit, the candidate with protected characteristics will have an advantage over others. This tie-breaker approach is described as positive action in the Equality Act 2010.

If you are invited to interview, please be prepared to discuss unconscious bias with us. These conversations are extremely useful in giving us an idea of what working together will be like.
