What we offer

Employees receive 29 days’ annual leave each year (pro rata for part time staff), as well as bank holidays. The Springfield Project also offers concessionary leave at Christmas.

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

We understand that employees may need support in dealing with a variety of issues throughout their lives. The EAP is a 365 days-a-year, 24/7 independent, confidential counselling and information service, provided free of charge to all Springfield Project employees. Support is available on a range of issues which may include such areas as work related concerns, emotional, legal, financial and health issues.

Health Cash Plan

The Springfield Project employees have the opportunity to join a health cash plan that can help them spread the cost of essential healthcare out monthly – like trips to the dentist, opticians, physiotherapists and others.

The Health Cash Plan is offered in conjunction with our partners at BHSF.

Training and development

We provide a wide range of training opportunities tailored to your role and professional development needs. At The Springfield Project, all staff receive regular supervision meetings with their supervisor every 4–6 weeks, along with an annual performance review. Through your personal development plan, you and your manager will work together to identify any training or development that will help you grow and succeed in your role.

🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield 🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield Project 🌞 Startwell 

We've had a fantastic few weeks celebrating International Animal Days, Love Parks Week, and the Festival of British Archaeology.

The children enjoyed exploring animal habitats, painting with cars, exploring playdough, rhyme time with a parachute, making fruit kebabs, creating artwork and bracelets, and developing their physical skills through Sammy Skills, Active Azra and 180 Katie activities.

Thank you to all the families who joined us. It has been wonderful to see the children learning, growing in confidence and having so much fun together. We look forward to seeing you at our next Stay & Play session! 💚🌈

CANCELLED - The Great Sparkhill Shake & Shape Up w CANCELLED - The Great Sparkhill Shake & Shape Up which was due to take place this Thursday, due to the heatwave
Here are some highlights from our Creative Wednesd Here are some highlights from our Creative Wednesday! 🎨✨

Our Creative Wednesdays art group had an exciting trip to see their own work on display, as part of the Unlocking the Vaults launch event at the Exchange, Birmingham. 

The exhibition celebrates the heritage and stories of the Exchange building which used to be the headquarters of Birmingham Municipal Bank. The bank, once a major feature of Birmingham life, was opened after the First World War as a means for the people of the city to rebuild their lives. It even had a branch here in Sparkhill.

Our participants, working with group leader Sajida Asif, produced a beautiful quilt, using cyanotype photography and embroidery, responding to these stories and their own memories of visiting the Municipal Bank. The quilt is on display as part of the free exhibition until Nov 7th at the Exchange Building, Centenary Square.
