Work With Us

Come on - let’s take you on a journey.

We are the Explorers Team – a growing family of inspiring practitioners at every stage of their career.

At Explorers, everyone brings something unique in their backpack. Together, those differences are what make our team strong, supportive, and truly special.

More than just a workplace

We believe that feeling connected matters. Each month, we come together outside of work to celebrate one another, try new experiences, and make memories as a team.

Our adventures have included:

  • Royal Ascot days out
  • Giggle-filled weekends in Belfast
  • City breaks in York and Dublin
  • Sunrise walks to Rosemary Topping
  • Wellbeing retreats to reflect, reset, and refocus

Moments that matter

We’ve celebrated birthdays, achievements, and milestones — including welcoming our Explorers’ babies into the world. We’ve hosted our own Explorers Festival, camped in the forest, paddleboarded in the Lake District for the very first time, and enjoyed countless nights out simply being together.

Some of our most magical moments come from family-friendly events, like our much-loved bonfire night hosted by Jenna and Carl, now a firm favourite in our staff calendar – alongside cinema trips, bowling nights, and escape room adventures.

At Explorers, you’re not just joining a team – you’re joining a community that supports growth, wellbeing, and connection. 

Ongoing Recruitment – Join Our Team!

At Explorers, we’re always on the lookout for practitioners with big smiles and even bigger hearts — people ready to welcome our children and families every day.

Our team members are true performers: you’ll change from superhero to princess multiple times a day, sing out of tune (confidently!), and read and write upside down like it’s second nature. You’ll decipher the unique “codes” our children leave behind, and wear your uniform with pride — even if you go home covered in mysterious substances from the day’s adventures.

 

Got what it takes?

You’ll need some serious superpowers too:

  • Eyes in the back of your head to keep track of every little explorer
  • Courage to venture into the forest — who knows what gruffly, bear, or adventure awaits!
  • The flexibility to become a farmer, scientist, artist, or storyteller whenever the day calls for it

Most importantly, every day is about making learning unforgettable. If you’re ready to bring creativity, laughter, and a little bit of magic into the lives of children, we want you on our team.
