What do our employees say about working at Uplands? “The very special students and dedicated team members are what motivate me”. “Working here gives true perspective of how the small things in life for most people are a huge journey for our young people but helping and seeing them succeed makes you realise what we do every day can impact on someone not just for the school day, but for the rest of their lives”. “The internal feeling you will get from supporting the young people to help manage life will make all the hard work worth it”. “You reap what you sow. Not everything is achievable first time round, but with time, patience and perseverance, the rewards are endless”. “You know that you, as a team member, are proud to be part of that student’s journey and that has made a difference (however big or small)”. “With the support of Uplands I have been able to further my career and work in a really rewarding job” Brunel's Trust Values: Be Kind, Be Brave, Be Honest, Be Imaginative, Be Inclusive Interviews : 22/05/2026 or as received.
