The Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter has announced that St John Rigby College has been accredited as a full member.  We are proud to become the first Sixth Form College to achieve this prestigious charter mark.

The aim of the Charter is to raise employment standards across Greater Manchester. It strives for excellence in the core areas of Secure Work, Flexible Work, Pay, Engagement & Voice, Recruitment, People Management and Health & Wellbeing.

Awarding the college this charter builds upon our reputation as an Ofsted Outstanding education provider for students aged 16-19 as we seek to be an employer of choice within the education sector.

St John Rigby College Principal, Peter McGhee CBE, commented: “Being accredited by the Good Employment Charter demonstrates the value the College places upon our staff and their growth, development and wellbeing.   Membership of the Charter allows an external independent voice to measure our practices around good employment.  We intend to continue to learn from other employers and be part of a wider movement of organisations committed to improving the lives and wellbeing of those who work in the Greater Manchester area.”
