WHERE wORK FITS AROUND YOU

what is flexforce?

FlexForce keeps our six Hampshire nurseries running smoothly by providing flexible cover whenever it’s needed.


You step in to support our teams when educators are on leave, unwell, or attending training — choosing shifts that suit your availability through our simple app.


It’s flexibility with purpose. You gain experience across different settings, build your confidence, and become part of a supportive group of professionals who care deeply about early years.

With training, a uniform, and full team support, you’re set up for success from day one.

benefits that add up

  • Competitive hourly pay rates 
  • Enhanced pay for short-notice shifts 
  • Travel allowance for journeys over 20 miles 
  • Holiday pay you accrue as you work 
  • Opportunities to move into permanent roles within First Friends
  • Free uniform and a welcome gift bag 
  • Free refreshments while on shift 
  • Free parking 
  • The chance to gain hands-on experience before committing to a permanent role
  • Staff recognition schemes, including initiatives like “Flex Force Star of the Month”

It's nice to be part of a team and get to know all of the children and staff. I also like the flexibility, as it enables me to do things in my own time and still work regularly.

Your FlexForce role was exactly what I was looking for after working for over fifteen years in a primary school. I love the fact that I can fit the role around my personal commitments, playing my love of tennis and looking after my adorable retriever dog Monty!
