Join the team at Raised in Bristol – where early years education meets community impact.
We’re a not-for-personal-profit social enterprise with a clear mission: to provide the very best early years education while investing in the communities we serve.
We’re a passionate bunch at Raised In! We love what we do, and we’re committed to helping the youngest children reach their full potential in friendly, nurturing, and engaging home-from-home environments. We’re building something special, and we’d love you to be part of it.
We champion play-led learning in environments designed to nurture children, with a strong focus on early development by engaging in their interests and supporting independent learning from the baby room right through to the preparation for the transition to school.
At Raised In, we believe in the power of education to shape the future, and we’re looking for enthusiastic early years professionals to join our team and make an impact. Whether you’re seeking career growth, a fulfilling role, or simply a supportive work environment, Raised In offers it all – and more!
We have four Raised in Bristol nurseries: Raised in Bristol at Easton Community Centre (BS5), Raised in Bristol at Felix Road Adventure Playground (BS5), Raised in Bristol at Docklands Community Centre (BS2) and Raised in Bristol at the Greenway Centre (BS10).
Why work with us?
We really value our expert team. As well as offering competitive pay for all roles in a friendly and supportive team, you’ll receive lots of great benefits:
● Competitive pay
● Annual pay reviews
● One hour paid lunch break (meaning if you work full time over four days, you’ll be paid for 40 hours, but you’re actually only working for 36 hours).
● 50% off for your child in our nurseries
● Enhanced maternity pay
● Employer pension
● ‘Refer a friend’ bonus for introducing new team members to us
● 28 days holiday (inc bank holidays, FTE)
● Your Birthday off and an Annual Wellbeing Day (in addition to your annual leave)
● Plus 3 extra days off between Christmas and New Year
● 24/7 access to a remote GP for you and your family
● Career progression and training opportunities
What about you?
You’re the kind of person who lights up around children and believes in the power of play to spark learning. You bring energy, curiosity and a can-do attitude to your work, and you’re always up for trying new things. You care deeply about inclusion, teamwork and making a difference—not just in the nursery, but in the wider community too. You’re reflective, open to feedback, and keen to grow. If you’re passionate about giving children the best start in life and want to be part of a team that’s rethinking how Early Years education is done, we’d love to hear from you.
