Education Development Trust (formerly CfBT)

A company who prides themselves on supporting their staff, they are the first to throw you under the bus. If you care about people and don’t want to see them have pressure piled on them with zero thanks, don’t work here. This used to be the best job I’d ever have and would always defend them if somebody spoke ill of them but sadly I can no longer say that. I constantly picked up the work load when staff were leaving the business and forever was working over time to ensure the pressure was taken off my colleagues. Taking none sense from those who clearly had no clue how to do their jobs and making themselves look a tool. I trained every new member of staff that walked through the door, despite them having a training schedule but my manager had no faith in their abilities to train new members of staff. Then I am made redundant and 1 incompetent person still kept their job, despite me interviewing and training them. Based on a competency interview of which I expressed that this caused me great anxiety and when I asked for support before the interview to best prepare, they completely ignored me and left me to rot. Thanks for that and my mental health hasn’t been the same since!

I haven't had any issues with anyone from this company, but the lady that answered the main phone was totally out of order! I hope students that go through this place for work experience don't get the same treatment!

Terrible company. Ruined my primary school when they took it over. Disastrously managed and terrible communication.
