Early Years Educator at Raised in Bristol 14 views

Locations: Easton / Felix Road / St Pauls

Are you ready to inspire the next generation? Looking to make a difference in the community? Here at Raised in Bristol we’re looking for passionate Early Years Educators to join our growing team.

Who we are

We set up RiB because we wanted to find ways to help communities to thrive and prosper in challenging times. Community spaces and buildings are under pressure due to funding cuts and we were sure that we could find a way to keep some of them open by doing business a bit differently – a social enterprise way.

We run children’s nurseries in community buildings, paying market rent to the landlord, providing a resource for local working families and the youngest members of communities. Then when the nursery makes a profit, we give all of it back to the community it came from – and everyone benefits, not just the families who use the nursery.

We want to give Educators the respect and value they deserve and so we pay the Living Wage (at least). Alongside a leading salary within the industry we look after you with leading holiday and other benefits. We care about you as an individual and want you to enjoy your work. Join us in rethinking Early Years Education and the way business is done.
