Staff Wellbeing Service in Wales
Taking staff wellbeing beyond the tick box
Everyone deserves to be healthy and safe at work. Especially those who guide and inspire the next generation. Which is why we’re working with Welsh Government to improve school staff wellbeing across Wales.
No one can do their best work if they are emotionally and physically depleted. If you want to make a meaningful change in your school, you’ve come to the right place.
Below you’ll find out more about our services, which are all funded thanks to Welsh government:
Supervision has a professional focus and is totally confidential. It is time dedicated to your role as an education leader, and will help you to improve your wellbeing. We’ve supported over 1300 school leaders and managers so far. Subjects that are explored in supervision can include:
- Dealing with emotionally challenging aspects of your role
- Balancing a demanding career with a healthy home-life
- Your professional identity and the personal cost of doing your job
- Managing tricky work relationships
- Reconnecting with what’s great about a career in education
Are you a school leader or wellbeing lead who wants to transform how your school approaches staff mental health and wellbeing?

“My Wellbeing Advisor listened carefully to me and where I felt our school was at, all the while asking thoughtful and provoking questions which helped me to gather my thoughts. He then helped me to form our school's commitment plan and how to share it with stakeholders.”School leader
