Of course, the decision to work for ELAN is a personal one. However, if you're looking for a supportive and collaborative environment, a strong commitment to professional development, and a focus on positive pupil outcomes, then ELAN could be a great fit for you.

Here are some of the reasons why:

• Our values are at the heart of everything we do. ELAN is built on collaboration, integrity, respect, innovation, and a commitment to providing an extraordinary education for every pupil. It’s important to consider whether your own values align with ours before applying.

• We hold high expectations and aspirations for all our children. We believe in nurturing ambition while ensuring it’s grounded in reality. Our staff support children to understand themselves, recognise their potential, and develop resilience when facing setbacks. We want every pupil to access an extraordinary education—because we care deeply.

• Teamwork and community are central to our success. Our shared purpose and strong culture of collaboration mean you'll be part of a wide network of colleagues who offer guidance and support professionally and personally. We value diverse perspectives and believe they lead to richer ideas and more creative solutions. Your knowledge, voice, and experience will be welcomed into our team.

• Working with children at ELAN means building meaningful relationships. You’ll connect with families, colleagues, and the wider community, fostering a shared responsibility for the wellbeing and success of our children.

• We welcome a broad range of skills and experience. Whatever role you’re considering, there are key qualities we value: a genuine commitment to working with children and young people, strong communication skills, and a solid work ethic. We want our pupils to see adults who have high aspirations for themselves and who model determination and perseverance.

• ELAN offers a challenging and rewarding career. Education can be demanding, and it isn’t the right path for everyone. But if you're passionate, resilient, and motivated by making a difference, you may find ELAN a fulfilling place to grow.
