We will not promise you the world, but working with Nido will change your world, too salesy, perhaps There are lots of Centre Director roles, all offering pretty much the same. Lots of ‘we are the best’, ‘awesome team’, ‘high quality, state of the art’, ‘free trip to the moon’, well maybe not the moon trip thing, we got a little carried away. It is very competitive out there to find quality Centre Directors and we all want to standout, but we will not throw lots of buzz words at you and promise something that we can’t deliver, honesty over hype. Yes, Nido will offer bonuses for quality, career progression if you desire, training, and all the other benefits that other ads might have up in lights, but importantly, we’ll offer a seat at the table to effect change and an environment where you matter, and your opinion matters every day. We know we’re on a journey. Although we’re still rated as exceeding, we know there is more to do to maintain this.
