About our roles

As an online alternative provision, we embrace remote working and the use of technology in our day to day activities.

Our overall structure and approach to learning models that of a mainstream school setting with a few key differences – small class sizes, distraction free online environments and a range of online tools to help students engage. Our education teams work from home which mirrors the experience of many learners attending our provision.

We also have marketing, IT, and customer service teams that work remotely too. Our business development team splits their time between home working and in-person visits to schools and customers around their areas. Within our teams we also get together regularly to share ideas, plan and collaborate on cross-functional projects.

“The most rewarding thing about working for Academy21 is when we hear about the student successes. That could be a student who’s attendance has improved, or one that has successfully sat their GCSEs, or even rediscovered a love of learning and is progressing on to further education. We’re happy to hear about the small wins and the big ones, for our students.”

Paula Reynolds

Head of Business Development, Southern England

“I have been with Academy21 from the very start. I love my subject. I have an absolutely amazing team of English teachers, and I love working with lots of different students. Particularly students who find that they have struggled with learning or they’ve found themselves out of school for different reasons, I enjoy helping to give them confidence or building their self esteem and helping them to make the best of their time with us.”

Laura Huggins

Head of English

“What I love most about working for Academy21 is the opportunities it gives to young people that really need it. I have personal experience of alternative provision, my subject choice was limited, and it has affected me into my career. I wish that Academy21 would have been available to me then to provide more choices for my education.”

Stephanie Jones

Regional Client Administrator

“Academy21 gives me the opportunity to continue my passion for teaching science and developing my leadership skills, whilst having the flexibility to work from home.”

Claire Semple

Head of Science at Academy21
