Since joining SGS, it has truly reignited my love of education. Having previously worked in mainstream education, I was looking for a new challenge and SGS Create offered exactly that. Two years on, I can honestly say it's unlike anywhere I've worked before.
Phil
Head of Year 11 | SGS Create
Since joining SGS, I haven't looked back and every day reminds me why. After a career in journalism, transitioning into teaching felt like a big step but the process was far easier than I expected. Since making that move, I've qualified as a teacher, completed a Master's degree and found a role that genuinely excites me every single day.
Max
Team Leader, Bristol Academy of Media | Lecturer in Sports Media & Media Production
We have a fantastic collaborative space through SGS Connect, a place where staff can find out what's happening across the college, celebrate each other's achievements, recognise long service and share good news. It's a small thing that makes a big difference, and it says a lot about the kind of organisation SGS is.
