Bring what you do best. We’ll help you make it brighter.

It takes all kinds of people to make Cherubs brilliant. You might be taking your first step into early years through an Apprenticeship, bringing years of experience with you, or looking for a completely new challenge. Wherever you’re starting from, there could be a place for you here.

From Early Years Educators and Chefs to Area Managers and our Central Support teams, we bring together different people, skills and experiences with one thing in common: we want to make tomorrow brighter for children, families and each other. Come as you are. Bring what you’re great at. And build a career you can be proud of.

We’re all about bringing great people together and helping them get where they want to go. As Cherubs grows, we want you to grow with us. You’ll get regular feedback, genuine support and plenty of encouragement to keep developing. Everyone has access to great training, development and opportunities to take their next step. And because we’re a growing group of nurseries, that next opportunity might be closer than you think.

Whether you join us full-time, part-time or flexibly, we’ll make sure you feel welcomed, valued and part of something bigger.

For us, it’s about creating more opportunities, better development, brilliant training and experiences that help you grow. We invest in our people because when you feel confident, capable and able to reach your potential, you can do amazing things. And together, we can make tomorrow even brighter.

We know how rewarding a career in early years can be – and how much it asks of you. That’s why our approach to reward is built around three things: money, becoming the best version of you, and taking you where you want to go.

From great pay and 30% off childcare to healthy lunches, an annual ‘Me Day’ and wellbeing support, we want you to feel valued in ways that matter. We’ll invest in your development, help you take your next step and celebrate the brilliant work you do through recognition, long-service awards and national award nominations.

You give a lot to make tomorrow brighter. We think you should get a lot back, too.

But what is it really like to work here?

Ask anyone what it’s like to work at Cherubs and you’ll probably get a different answer. It can be rewarding, brilliant fun, challenging and, sometimes, tough. That’s early years – and we wouldn’t pretend otherwise.

For some, it’s a great job. For others, it becomes a career they’re passionate about. Either way, we want Cherubs to be somewhere you can do work you’re proud of, with people who look out for each other. What makes us different isn’t just what we do, but how we do it. Our five values shape the way we show up for our children, families and each other – every single day.
