Why Join St Claire's?

When we ask our team what they enjoy most about working at St Claire's, the answers are remarkably consistent:

​

The atmosphere. The support. The opportunity to grow.

​

We're proud to have created a workplace where people feel valued, listened to and encouraged to develop their careers.

​

Build the Childcare Career You Actually Want

​

Many childcare providers offer training. We do things a little differently. If there's an area of childcare you'd like to develop, we'll work with you to create a pathway towards it.

​

Whether your interests lie in:

​

·       SEND

·       Leadership and Management

·       Safeguarding

·       Activity Planning

·       Forest School

·       Playwork

·       Child Development

·       Office Administration

​

or something else entirely, we'll support your professional development through fully funded training and qualifications where appropriate. Training attendance is paid, and we actively encourage staff to share ideas, skills and learning with colleagues.

​

Your Ideas Matter

​

We're not looking for people who simply turn up and do a job. We want people who bring ideas, enthusiasm and creativity.

 

Our staff regularly contribute to:

·       Activities and events

·       Holiday Club programmes

·       Training delivery

·       Policy development

·       Quality improvement projects

·       New initiatives across the organisation

Many of our best ideas have come directly from team members.

 

A Supportive Team Culture

​

·       Employee Assistance Programme with 24-hour confidential support

·       Mental health and wellbeing initiatives

·       Team social events and activities

We want people to feel supported both professionally and personally.
