Working at Treloar College

There were exceptional arrangements in place to manage risks to students' safety and wellbeing... Individual risk assessments were thorough, detailed... open culture which encouraged challenge and reporting... EMAR system had reduced errors.

Staff spoke of working in a 'well bonded team' with 'lots of colleague support'... 'definitely a place we are proud to work at'... 'amazing place to work.'

Staff told us they were able to manage their workload with the staffing levels in place. One staff member said, 'We are not short of staff. We always get the number of staff that are required.' ... track record of staff retention... most staff stayed for a long time.

The college had introduced a new staff role of 'Student Support Assistant' in 2016. They had developed a bespoke qualification for this role and obtained formal, external accreditation... Investors In People (IIP) gold award.

The college was recognised as a role model for excellent management and leadership at all levels, which had been acknowledged by external accreditation.

There was an exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular enrichment activities available... boccia, wheelchair training run, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, work experience placements, disability sports competitions with other colleges.
