Careers at Teach First

How much you achieve in life should not be determined by how much your parents earn. Yet in the UK, it too often is...

Educational disadvantage remains one of the most destructive and pervasive problems in the UK, perpetuating inequality and confining thousands of young people up and down the country to a life of un-realised potential.

We believe in the power of education to change this. We are an education charity working with like-minded partners towards a day where no child's educational success is limited by their socio-economic background.

Escape's take on Teach First

Teach First is a charity focused on fighting the good fight of social inequality through education. They're all about connecting the right people with the right opportunities: they find exceptional people who just need a bit of help to become exceptional teachers, and then give them the skills, support and inspiration to make a difference. They have a huge community of alumni who are committed to fighting inequality, and run programmes and events that help them on that mission. They're a not-for-profit organisation with a sterling social mission, and a huge amount of support in the Escape 100 from their employees.
