Best Pay
We reward the valuable work our staff do. How? By being an honest and transparent living wage employer.
Living Wage
Making a commitment to our staff by being a Living Wage Employer is something we feel passionate about. The whole team do an incredible job developing children and deserves the fairest pair possible.
We also believe the increased cost of living shouldn’t impact you doing a job you love. Being a Living Wage Employer is one of the many benefits we have to enable our Group Leaders to do a job that they really want to do.
Group Leader Pay
We offer all our staff, regardless of age, a real living wage. Everyone contributes equally towards the success of our courses, and therefore, we do not discriminate based on age or offer apprenticeship schemes.
Here is our Group Leader starting wage in greater detail. This will be your gross pay, not pro rata, and has no hidden deductions. Due to our brilliant bonus systems, your income will be greater than this. There is also a 17.5% increase in pay on any weekend hours that are worked.

All new starters begin training on a 33 HPW contract. You can increase or decrease this to suit your needs, after the six-week training period.
We use an annualised hours system to ensure that you receive a consistent monthly wage, regardless of differences in your monthly work hours. Your permanent, year-round contract provides financial stability, helping you plan for the future.
Bonus Payments
The Profit Bonus (paid throughout the spring season), is a share of our annual profit. The percentage level of your bonus increases over your first five years. In 2023 we paid an average profit bonus of more than £1,000 each, to everyone (just over 250 members of staff) who helped us achieve our 2022 profit. Our staff team make all the difference in the quality of courses we offer, so we are very happy to share our profits with them.
Progression and Promotion
We love supporting our staff in their personal development. Recognising strengths and giving individuals an opportunity to use them is something we pride ourselves in. Group Leaders can gain a Course Leader increment and from there apply for various different roles.
