Employee Assistance Programme
We’re all human and challenges in life or at work can reduce our wellbeing and our effectiveness. What if you were able to give members of your team a sympathetic ear, just at the right time?
Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) gives your staff confidential support and guidance just when they need it most. Why not enquire today?
We all need a bit of extra help sometimes and I think it reflects really well on us as a school that we offer it.Louise, assistant head
