The Adventure

At ALU, we don't just work, we co-create and innovate. Our community thrives on collaboration and shared boldness. Every team member contributes to meaningful challenges, united by a spirit of innovation and teamwork. We champion ownership and problem-solving, not in silos, but together.

You will join a space where ideas flow freely, barriers are challenged, and colleagues lift each other up as we build a new model of education.

The Human Side

We intentionally build in moments where you can laugh, celebrate, unwind, and just chill with your colleagues through the following:

Flexibility and Wellbeing Highlights:

Family-Friendly Policies – We support you through significant life moments with policies that prioritise you and your family's needs.

The Core

Our Core consists of the mindsets we deliberately keep at the centre of everything we do. We trust our people to make their own decisions because they understand and hold to this core. We cultivate a growth mindset, with an openness to asking questions, learning new things and using failure as an opportunity. We believe in ownership and accountability and are deeply invested in everything we do. At ALU, we are collaborative and foster a flat mindset, giving you the chance to speak up and give your input on any issue, no matter your position.

The Wow

Our policies and guidelines are based on positive assumptions rather than being punitive, and this shapes the way we work. To support you and help you thrive, we have frameworks in place called Ways of Working. These include daily check-ins with your team, weekly sit-ins and team reviews, and monthly developmental one-on-ones to help plan your work and keep aligned and monthly developmental one on ones. Every Friday, we come together for FLD (Friday Late Discussions), our all-hands meeting that culminates in weekly drinks.
