Nursery Cook - All Year Round

Welcome to The Two Counties Trust

There are many reasons to choose our Trust as a great place to start or develop your career. We recognise the importance of happy, rewarded, and motivated employees and as such we have developed our HR and Professional Learning strategies to invest in people.

We are fully committed to supporting your career and professional growth through a range of routes both within the central team, externally, and across the Trust, offering extensive professional learning for all employees.

We have removed appraisal and appraisal related progression, recognising the limitations and changed the focus from proving to improving through professional growth which is focused on individual ambitions, enabling everyone to get a little bit better all the time.

We are committed to your welfare as an employee and alongside our own wellbeing and workload management arrangements we have signed up to the Education Staff Wellbeing Charter. If you need additional support on a range of matters, an Employee Assistance Programme is available to you from day one of employment.

We offer highly competitive pay, including some points above national rate, an array of employee benefits including extensive high street retail discounts, gym membership and discounted healthcare.

There are an array of centralised systems which are designed to save you time and avoid duplication of effort, these are based on the work of experts across the Trust, meaning that your time can be focused where you need it to be.

We hope you will join us in a great environment where you can work with a team of dedicated and like-minded professionals.
