About us
Think back to your school days - to that one teacher who inspired you and helped you become the person you are today. Imagine if that teacher had been so stressed with work pressures that they left the profession for good. This is a growing reality for those in education today – with 34% of teachers planning to leave in the next few years due to stress and workload.
At Education Support, we are there for everyone working in education. Established more than 145 years ago as a benevolent fund for teachers, we understand the pressures of working in education today. Through our free helpline, grants, counselling, guidance, and professional and organisational development services, we work with hundreds of organisations and thousands of staff across the sector. The impact can be lifesaving, and more teachers, lecturers and support staff turn to us for help each year.
“Education Support was a real lifeline. They understand the pressures that teachers are under, and their lives, and make it more human,” John, a secondary school teacher.
We have ambitious plans for the future, as we grow to meet the needs of an ever-changing education sector. We are focussed on our vision of everyone working in education feeling respected, supported and resilient. As Fundraising Officer, you will be a crucial part of our small but mighty income generating team raising money to support educators across the UK.
