Staff Benefits at North Star Community Trust

We believe that when staff feel supported, they are able to do their best work. At North Star Community Trust, we offer a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, financial security and professional development. From healthcare and pension schemes to training opportunities and everyday savings, our benefits are there to support you both in and outside of work. We are committed to creating a working environment where staff feel valued, supported and able to build a fulfilling and sustainable career with us.

We provide access to a Health Cash Plan, supporting a range of everyday healthcare costs such as dental treatment, eye care, physiotherapy and prescriptions. This includes access to a digital health app and additional wellbeing services.

Our Employee Assistance Programme offers 24/7 support from qualified counsellors, with access to face-to-face or video sessions when needed.

Staff can also benefit from discounted gym memberships and digital fitness subscriptions through our wellbeing partners.

We offer access to the Local Government Pension Scheme for support staff and the Teachers’ Pension Scheme for teaching staff. These are well-established, secure pension schemes that help you plan for the future with confidence.

Staff also benefit from life insurance cover while in service, along with access to a wide range of retail discounts through our employee benefits platform.

We are committed to helping staff grow and develop throughout their careers. This includes access to high-quality training, professional qualifications and leadership development opportunities.

We work with a range of partners, including universities and training providers, and offer pathways for progression across our schools and central teams.

We offer a Cycle to Work scheme, helping staff access cycling equipment at a reduced cost while supporting a healthier commute.

In some of our schools, staff can also access on-site catering at a reduced cost, making it easier to enjoy a convenient and affordable lunch during the day.

Working with North Star Community Trust means being part of a team where staff are supported, developed and valued.
