At ̽»¨ÏµÁÐ, we want to create life-enhancing learning opportunities for students across the world.

Why ̽»¨ÏµÁÐ?

Our mission is ambitious, but through the commitment and passion of our staff, we succeed in meeting. Our values are at the heart of our business and have been since we started 30 years ago – they are the secret of our success.

Care, passion, creativity and integrity are qualities we look for in our staff and are as important as the knowledge, experience and expertise you bring. You can learn more about our values here.

Almost all of our jobs involve working with young people. The recruitment and selection process then has to be especially rigorous – it’s not Royal Marine selection – but you will need to complete all stages of the application process and provide all the information we need. You’ll find it’s worth it, though, if you do join us.
