Meet the team
Uptree started life back in 2015 when our CEO Tamsin founded the organisation whilst also working as a teacher.
Fast forward to now, and we’re a diverse team of around 20 people based across the UK, EEA and Canada. We’ve still got a hub in London and Edinburgh, but now we live, work (and hire) from all over the EEA. A lot has changed since 2015 but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to making sure that no student is left behind on their journey to employment. We live by our mission. That means we’re collaborative and values led, and always put students at the heart of our decisions. To learn more about our approach to working with students, check out our blog.

How do we work?
We’re working hard to build a culture that allows everyone to thrive and grow. This means giving our team everything they need to be happy and healthy.
💪 Flexible working hours: you take ownership over how and where you get your best work done.
🌴 Lots of annual leave: 28 days increasing to 30 after long service, with the option to buy 5 more; plus 8 flexible bank-holiday days - we want our team to celebrate occasions that matter the most to them.
☀️ Summer working hours; you finish at 1pm on Fridays each July and August.
🏠 Great office spaces: access to hundreds of co-working spaces across the UK and Europe through our partner Hubble, plus travel and accommodation covered for team meet-ups.
👶 Enhanced equal parental leave: for example, 17 weeks of full maternity pay after 4 years of service.
🌟 We celebrate data privacy.
🪴 A transparent system for progression: our careers progression framework means you’ll have full transparency over how you’re doing, with regular check in’s throughout the year with your Line Manager.
👋 Inclusive environment: a place where everyone's voice is heard and valued.
🚅 Nomad working: every team member has the option to work nomadically in the EEA for 30 days each calendar year.
