Great Place to Work Workplaces

What Makes Premier Education One of the UK’s Best Workplaces?

When you choose where to build your career, you’re not just choosing a job, you’re choosing the people, culture, and purpose you’ll spend your days with. At Premier Education, that purpose is clear: helping children lead active, happy, and healthy lives. And in 2025, our commitment to people, earned national recognition.

Premier Education has officially been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces by Great Place to Work, achieving four major accolades that shine a light on what makes our organisation so special.

Recognised in four Great Place to Work Categories

No.60 Best Workplaces (small category)

This recognition celebrates workplaces that put their people first – creating supportive, inspiring environments where everyone feels valued. From our coaches on the playground to our teams in head office, every individual plays a part in delivering something bigger: childhood happiness.

No.44 Best Workplaces for Development

At Premier, careers don’t just stand still. Every team member has access to tailored training, mentoring, and clear progression pathways. Whether it’s upskilling through our accredited coaching programmes or developing leadership skills in management roles, personal growth is built into the fabric of how we work.

No.37 Best Workplaces for Women

We’re proud to be recognised for creating an environment where women can thrive across coaching, leadership, and support roles. Our flexible approach, inclusive policies, and focus on wellbeing mean everyone can bring their best self to work, every day.

This recognition reflects what we already see across our network: teams built on respect, opportunity, and shared purpose.

Best Workplaces for Education & Training

As one of the UK’s leading providers of sport and physical activity in schools, it’s only right that we’re recognised in the Education & Training category. Every day, our people deliver meaningful experiences that inspire children to move more, smile more, and grow in confidence. This award acknowledges not just what we do, but how we do it.

Why These Awards Matter

These achievements aren’t just badges of honour, they’re independent proof that Premier Education is serious about investing in people. Great Place to Work is a trusted authority on workplace culture, and its recognition is based entirely on employee feedback.
Behind every award is a story of belonging, growth, and purpose. It’s the feeling of helping a child master a new skill. The moment a team leader sees a coach take their next career step. The shared belief that what we do, day in and day out, truly matters.

A Workplace with Purpose

At Premier, we believe great workplaces start with great people, and that everyone deserves to work somewhere that makes a difference. Whether you’re coaching on the playground, supporting operations, or leading a franchise, you’re helping shape happier, healthier futures for children across the UK.
We call it a career with purpose. And now, it’s one of the UK’s best.
If you want to work for a company recognised nationally for its culture, inclusivity, and commitment to people, we’d love to meet you.
