How to put 24/7 support on the syllabus for teachers

Help teachers stress less about spending

With living costs creeping up, even small savings can ease the pressure.  

Our benefits help teachers stretch their paychecks further, whether they’re buying classroom supplies or family essentials. From supermarkets and fashion to tech and travel, teachers can unlock hundreds of discounts to make everyday expenses more manageable. 

To take the pressure off even more, our Home and Electronics benefit lets teachers spread the cost of thousands of items (including tech, homeware, appliances, and more) with simple monthly salary sacrifice payments.  

So, when an essential appliance like a washing machine breaks down, they can replace it right away and pay over time. It also eases the pinch during expensive seasons like Christmas, so those bigger costs don’t hit all at once. 

Keeping great teachers in great headspaces

Every employee deserves wellbeing support that’s easy to access and stigma-free.

But right now, burnout is the number one reason great teachers are walking away from their roles.    

That’s where our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) comes in, giving your team 24/7 access to expert mental health support, confidential counselling, and self-help tools for a wide range of issues.  

And with our proactive Online GP service, there’s no more waiting ages to see a doctor. Teachers can talk to a registered GP whenever and wherever it works for them.

Where praise meets purpose

Teachers thrive on appreciation, and while a shiny apple is a sweet gesture, a simple, genuine “thank you” goes a lot further. 

But between lesson planning, marking, and everything else on the to-do list, finding the time to celebrate your team isn’t always easy. 

Perkbox makes it simple to shine a light on great work, whether it’s a shoutout from leadership or a quick note of kudos between colleagues. 

When teachers feel recognised and proud of their impact, they’re more likely to stay motivated and connected, and that’s how you hold on to the people helping to build brighter futures every day.  

Healthy teachers, happy classrooms

Teaching takes a lot of energy. A good workout can be the perfect way to blow off steam after a tough day, and keeping active helps teachers feel more focused, resilient, and ready to give their best in the classroom. 

With our Cycle to Work scheme, school staff can save up to 42%* on bikes and safety gear – making it easier (and more affordable) to ride in, get fresh air, and squeeze some movement into the day.  

And if cycling’s not their thing, our gym membership discounts make it easier to stay active in a way that works for them. With 3,000+ participating gyms and health clubs to choose from, teachers can find a place that fits their schedule, goals, and lifestyle – whether it’s near school, home, or somewhere in between. 

Make your school a magnet for teaching talent

Recruiting and keeping brilliant educators is harder than ever. And when you look at what they’re up against (long hours, high stress, shrinking resources, and limited career progression) it’s no surprise that fewer people want to teach, and many who do wouldn’t recommend it to others. 

But by offering meaningful, year-round benefits through Perkbox, you can give teachers a better experience from day one, and long after they’ve settled in. One that supports their financial wellbeing, their mental health, and the everyday moments in between. 

When your teachers feel truly valued and supported, they’re more likely to stay and bring their best every single day. Giving them a benefits package that stands out shows you see them as more than just staff, but as the heart of your school. 

It’s the kind of support that helps you attract and retain people who don’t just teach lessons, but shape futures and change lives.
