All ages and experience welcome! The right person is as important as qualifications because most of our existing staff are qualified. We are happy to take on unqualified staff as we like to have more staff over and above the legal requirement, as this enhances the care and education that we offer our children.
If you are not qualified and this is something you would like to do, we can help you gain your qualification while you are working with us – the qualification is often free of charge, and your salary would increase once you are qualified.
We are a family run business with a family ethos – we like to look after our staff.
We offer you;
- High rates of pay according to qualifications and experience
- Annual salary reviews
- Importance of work life balance recognised – we are as flexible as we can be with working hours. Many staff work a 4 day week.
- Free meals (regrettably lunch is not available for lunch cover positions as you will be working)
- Free tea, coffee and biscuits
- A day off for your birthday in addition to annual leave entitlement
- Non-absence bonus
- Staff annual bonuses
- Bonuses if you successfully refer a friend to us for a job vacancy
- Staff social events
- Employee of the month scheme
- Free training and qualifications
- Free parking
- Free uniform provided/uniform allowance
- A management team that appreciates you and genuinely cares about you!
