What to Expect
We believe that finding a new job should be an enjoyable process. We’re passionate about bringing our whole selves to work, so what you see is what you get. All we ask from you, is that you show us your authentic self. We’re looking for people who bring something new to the team, who add to our culture and make it even greater.
You will first be invited to a screening call, a quick 15 minutes that we can tell you about Thrive, ask some questions and get to know you a little better. If we think you'd be a great addition to our team, we'll invite you to a first stage interview with someone from the team. This will be a call to get to know you and for you to ask any questions about the role. We’ll also find out why Thrive interests you and what you feel you can add to our team. You might then get asked to attend a final interview, this will be a chance for us to dive deeper into your experiences and skills.
At Thrive, we’re on a mission to build an inclusive, welcoming culture that encourages and actively supports diversity. Our race, gender, religion, background, sexuality and beliefs are what make us unique. Our people are expected to always treat each other with respect, care and compassion. This starts from the moment you apply for a role at Thrive Learning, so we want you know we’re an equal opportunity employer. We will always strive to be as inclusive as possible in all aspects of employment and have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind.
If you require any assistance, accommodations, or support during the application or interview stages, please don't hesitate to contact Ella Holland at ella.holland@thrivelearning.com. We're happy to help!
