We care about our colleagues’ wellbeing, and we have invested in this for you.

We want to look after your family as well as you. In the event of your death whilst in service, we will pay a lump sum to your chosen recipient to help support them and take away some financial burden at their time of need.
We know you’ll love working here, and that’s why, when you recommend a friend, you can receive up to £200 after they start work (T&Cs apply).
In some of our roles, we offer a generous welcome bonus when you choose us for the next steps in your career.
We want to support you in your retirement, that’s why we’ve partnered with Nest to provide you with a pension that will support you after you leave.

Some of our roles attract a discretionary bonus payment. These details, where applicable will be contained within your employment contract.

We will obviously pay for your background checks, and along with branded uniform which we provide, you can also claim back the cost of other work clothes. In addition, we ensure that all of our colleagues have access to breakfast and lunch whilst at work at no cost to you, along with all the tea and coffee you can drink!

We’re all about the balance here at Thrive. If you work in a role which allows it, we will work with you to organise your week so that we can get the best out of you.
We shout about our achievements and want to celebrate all your successes and we have so many fantastic examples of our colleagues living our values. That’s why we offer monthly financial rewards for our colleagues who go the extra mile for their teams or the children in their care.

Blaze your own trail! We have plenty of apprenticeship opportunities here at Thrive – earning while you are learning can be a fantastic way of building the initial stages of your career and earn along the way. An apprentice will receive training from a recognised and supportive apprenticeship provider, college or university and work towards a nationally recognised qualification at an appropriate level. This will be achieved through a combination of training, shadowing, coursework and mentoring where you will be required to spend a minimum of 20% of time developing in this way. The apprenticeship is a combination of training from the provider and exposure to new and exciting skills here at Thrive.
