Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate is committed to supporting Forces Families in their search for employment. We are aware that this can be a challenging experience for families of serving personnel, and we therefore are proud to encourage confidence in applying for our vacancies. We, as an organisation, acknowledge that forces families can possess the skills we are searching for in Team QE staff, aligning with our culture and ethos; these skills can be applicable across various departments such as Teaching, Estates, IT, Catering, Security and many more. Team QE offers a forces-friendly environment, for instance, we are extremely proud of the recruitment of forces children, amongst our students, whose parents may be serving in international countries.  

Our commitment to the AFC means that we are passionate about building our knowledge about the armed forces, including their families, and how being exposed to combat can potentially impact their daily lives. We have pledged to be a forces-friendly employer and we are thrilled to be part of such a positive and inspiring cause.
