Working at the College

“Unlock potential, create opportunities, and transform lives through outstanding education, skills and training.”

At Education Partnership North East, our ‘purpose’ is our north star. It is what we expect of ourselves every single day and what we ask staff to keep front and centre in all that they do. It is rooted in our transformative power, it communicates our work in tackling inequalities, removing barriers, and improving the life chances of the people and communities we serve.

Working with us

Our dual values framework operates on both an organisational and individual level, balancing collective purpose with personal accountability. This framework reflects the interplay between individual accountability and collective goals, emphasising the dual responsibility of individuals and the organisation to create a shared culture of high performance. Our values ensure alignment across departments, teams, and individuals, unifying our culture and informing our decision-making.

Our values are rooted in a fundamental belief that together, we can make a positive difference and build better futures for a changing world:

• Courage: We boldly approach the future with confidence and energy
• Authenticity: We are who we say we are, we do what we say we will do
• Respect: We nurture a community where everyone is welcome and belongs.
• Excellence: We strive for excellence at the heart of everything we do.
