N Family Club

Welcome to the N Family.

At N Family Club, we‘re challenging the way things are done in the sector and giving educators the respect and value they deserve.

We‘re currently recruiting for roles in our nurseries across London, Surrey, Kent and the West Midlands – watch below to find out what’s it’s like to be part of the N Family.

We care about our N team members as individuals – they work hard and are rewarded and valued for it.
We know that our team do the most important job in the world, which is why we've created an industry-leading benefits package to support them personally and help them develop professionally.

The core benefits are just an highlight of the overall amazing and comprehensive benefit package we offer. Please find our full 2022 benefits report here: https://nfamilyclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/NFC_Benefits_Report_2022_FINALLS.pdf

At N, we hire amazing people and empower them to reach their full potential. N Team members are all enrolled in The N Academy – putting them in the driving seat with their learning.

The academy is focused on providing exciting and inspiring learning opportunities, taking a ‘blended’ approach with a mix of webinars, face-to-face workshops, manager coaching and experiential learning to ensure everything you learn is truly embedded into your day-to-day practice. We are proud advocates of Apprenticeships and offer a range of opportunities through our accredited Early Years Academy and Chef Academy, along with other specific business related apprenticeships.

We know that working in Early Years can be tiring and involves superhero levels of energy and enthusiasm. We also understand that you might want more time to spend with your own families, to study or to pursue other hobbies. Whatever you want flexibility for, we want to support it and, in doing so, support your wellbeing.

For 2022, we’ve created n-Flex, a new kind of full-time working week, which allows you to choose between our brand new 4-day, 36-hour week, the classic 5-day, 40-hour week, or perhaps doing something in between with our 36 hour +flexi-overtime offer. Whatever you decide, you are in the driving seat.

In addition to this, we also have a series of other flexible options to suit everyone:
- Part time roles, which are payable at exactly the the same hourly rate as if you were working full time.
- Lunch Cover positions for 15-20 hours per week (Mon-Fri) during everyone’s favourite time of day – lunch!
- Job shares - where possible, we can offer these across a wide variety of roles in our nurseries.

For educators looking for flexibility from day to day and week to week, the bank team might be the place for you! Our bank teams are on a casual working contract and paid on an hourly rate.

We strongly believe that a healthy mind is the most important factor in creating a healthy workplace. Here are just some of the brilliant things we do to make sure you can manage your wellbeing at work:

- Termly wellbeing weeks. We run sessions in mindfulness and yoga, arts and crafts and more, all of which are free for all team members.
- Free Headspace premium Mindfulness app
- 10% Classpass discount. Classpass is the world’s leading multi-studio fitness app, with classes ranging from yoga and Pilates to boxing and spinning!
- The Employee Assistance Programme is open to all team members, offering online and face to face counselling, citizens advice and wellbeing support.
- Free eye tests & flu jabs
- Sabbatical. After 3 years of service, you could apply for a sabbatical that lasts from one month to a year.

At N, we play as a team. We are global citizens, inspiring and developing the next generation and we encourage our people to bring their whole and authentic selves to work, every day of the week.

We are an inclusive workforce and the diversity of our team is something we’re proud of. We welcome team members from all backgrounds and walks of life and have also signed the MITEY (Men in the Early Years) charter, which commits to bringing more men into Early Years.

Our diversity creates an environment to support the best in us. Everyone is welcome, respected and accepted. You don’t have to ‘fit in’, we will take you and encourage to be as you are. Be you. We are N Family

Managers are the beating heart of everything we do here at N. They are the centre of our communities, and the people our customers and teams look to for guidance. They’re also responsible for delivering high-quality education everyday, alongside commercial targets.

It takes a special kind of person to be an Outstanding manager; one with exceptional levels of skill, knowledge, composure, passion, empathy and leadership. That is why we’ve built the leading Manager’s package in the sector.

On top of all our core benefits, some of the highlights for Managers are:

- industry-leading salary (£38-60K annual salary).
- annual bonus up to 20% of base salary.
- up to 35 days annual leave, increasing to 38 with length of service.
- 25% childcare discount + 6 back-up childcare days in any of our nurseries
