Careers

Hatton Academies Trust offers career opportunities from primary through to sixth form across five academies in the Wellingborough, Northamptonshire area. The Trust also has a central services team in areas such as finance, IT and estates.

The employee benefits we offer include:

• Staff Feedback: We conduct an annual survey based on HSE stress management standards. Each academy develops an annual action plan addressing staff feedback. Results are benchmarked against national public sector data, and we consistently exceed the average.
• Professional Growth: We have introduced Steplab instructional coaching in all our academies to support the CPD of all our teaching staff through evidence-informed practices.
• Progression: Career pathway discussions with staff, to support ongoing CPD and progression.
• Workplace Culture: We are working to transform workplace culture by promoting early resolution and proactive conflict management. Manager upskilling is ongoing, and the benefits of this approach are already evident.
• Flexible Working: We offer generous leaves of absence and will accommodate flexible working where possible. We understand that certain moments in life are sometimes more important than work.

If you are interested in joining us, we invite you to browse around our website to get know about us and how we operate. Our current vacancies can be found through the link below.

Here are some quotes from our People & Wellbeing Survey 2025:

“Clear expectations of job role. Flexibility from line manager. All of the above has supported me in managing workload and any challenges that come with it."

"Encouragement to take a break when it is needed."

"Being able to be open and honest with colleagues in my department who are supportive and encouraging, as well as taking an interest in you. This goes a long way in ensuring I am happy and positive at work."

"We have established policies to support staff wellbeing, including a Dignity & Respect at Work policy. These help raise awareness about the importance of wellbeing at work.”
