OSFC awarded “extraordinary” status

Deputy Principal Jayne Clarke and Personnel Manager Linda Burrows with Best Companies Award

Oldham Sixth Form College is once again the highest rated educational employer in the prestigious Best Companies Awards list, surpassing last year’s award of two stars (‘outstanding’) to become one of only 50 companies nationally to achieve coveted three star ‘extraordinary’ status. 

A record 1086 organisations from both the public and private sectors applied to achieve “Star Status” accreditation this year and 410 of these were successful.   The list includes household names such as Beaverbrooks, Nandos and Office Angels. 

Jonathan Austin, Founder and CEO of Best Companies said:  “We would like to congratulate Oldham Sixth Form College on their outstanding achievement. An engaged workforce is essential as organisations move out of the recession and into a more stable economic situation. Organisations like Oldham Sixth Form College that have kept on engaging their staff and making sure they are involved in the business will be in a good position for the future and should be congratulated for their efforts.”

Deputy Principal Jayne Clarke and Personnel Manager Linda Burrows are pictured with the Best Companies Award.  Jayne said: “I’m absolutely thrilled that we have reached three star status as this confirms our place among the very best employers in the country.  It is recognition that the College is not only maintaining our outstanding record as an employer, but is continuing to improve and is now among the select few who can call themselves ‘extraordinary’. 

Our mission is to ensure young people in Oldham and the surrounding area have access to the best education possible and those who work here are our most valuable resource in achieving that aim.  We work hard collectively as a staff and it means a great deal to us to know that the College is rated more highly than ever as an employer. We hope this award will further support us in continuing to attract the very best staff to our future vacancies.”
