Everyone is a teacher's pet at Eastleigh College, because all staff can feel indulged. The Hampshire further education college runs pampering days in aid of charity, and its discounted in-house Red Carpet restaurant, Essence beauty salon and travel shop are open to all 23,000 students and 404 employees. People can even get their cars serviced at the motor vehicle workshop. Staff have a lot of fun (a 78% positive score) and feel a strong sense of family (72%). Annual awards recognise the teacher and team of the year and staff support two nominated charities, Cancer Research UK and the Teenage Cancer Trust. Lecturers earn just over £33,000 a year, with a final-salary pension and on-site crèche — a rare benefit. Meanwhile, people can work off any stress with free use of the on-site gym and fitness classes. eastleigh.ac.uk
