Benefits for school-based staff
All school-based staff can access the following offers, discounts and services.
Managed by London and Quadrant (L&Q) in South London, the First Steps programme has a number of schemes, enabling you to either buy or rent a property.
As this programme is not run by Lambeth, you should direct any questions you may have to the Housing Options team.
Please note that there is no longer a 'Keyworker' classification when applying to First Steps.

Access to the Lambeth City Learning Centre
The Lambeth City Learning Centre (CLC) supports all schools in Lambeth in arts and culture, technology and family learning activities.
They offer workshops and projects, train school staff, broker partnerships with specialists and offer ideas, information, advice and guidance in each of the three areas.
The CLC is currently based at the BFI Southbank (British Film Institute) and much of its work is in partnership with the borough's arts and cultural organisations.
Professional development
Lambeth also has a commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for all school-based staff, throughout your career, with access to both local and national courses.
Lambeth also supports and promotes Chartered London Teacher Status, which is a qualification that recognises the professionalism and commitment of London teachers, as well as carrying a one-off payment of £1,000 on accreditation.
