Ark

We’re an international charity, transforming lives through education. We exist to give every young person, regardless of their background, a great education and real choices in life.

In the UK, we’re a network of 39 schools, educating around 28,500 pupils in areas where we can make the biggest difference and we’re recognised as one of the highest achieving academy groups in the country. We want to change the lives of children everywhere, not just in our own schools. So, we create and incubate Ventures designed not only to help pupils in Ark schools, but also to improve education systems.

Why work for Ark?
At Ark, we are all united by the same goal; a commitment to drive real change in education where it’s needed most. The development of our staff is one of our top priorities, at every level and in every role.
Joining Ark means there are plenty of diverse opportunities to progress your career, choosing the direction you want to take it in. Whether that be in one of our new or transition schools, a school in another region in the UK, as part of our dedicated central team or by working for one of our innovative Ark Ventures.
