Staff

We have a big staff team at RBAir, and we work from various locations. The majority of us are based at our headquarters in Milton; a smaller group is based at our student hub in Danbury; and the rest of us are spread across the country wherever our students need us.

Our staff team consists of a senior leadership team, teachers, therapists, link professionals, the administration and support teams, and IT. Despite being spread out, we work as one big team, wherever we’re based.
