About Everybody  

We’re a fast growing, ambitious Charitable Trust – operating 16 centres / 9 pool sites across Cheshire East. ‘Developing our people’ is close to our hearts and we aim to attract and develop the best people to drive our business forward. It’s due to our fantastic team our organisation has grown extensively since 2014 and continues to recover & re-grow following the recent pandemic-related closures.  

Working for Everybody you’ll join a welcoming, active bunch of people who are loyal and care greatly about one another. You might also find we’re a tad competitive (in a friendly way) and the 2020/21 lockdowns didn’t stop this with many staff getting involved in team competitions & challenges to stay in touch with one another whilst we were closed. 

You’ll also have access to a full CPD programme - ensuring you can remain ‘fit for the future’ and we offer a range of other benefits too including: 

• Hugely discounted gym membership
• Rewarding work in a friendly, fun, and caring environment
• Substantial training, career & development support from our in-house Everybody Academy
• Enhanced pension scheme
• Discounted food & drink in our Taste for Life cafes
• Sharing in Success bonus scheme and ‘salary extras’ benefits scheme
• 24/7 support from our employee assistance programme

As an employer we’re proud to have won a number of awards including Employer of the Year and received many positive messages from our people during our periods of closure in 2020-21 - here’s a snapshot of what they had to say:

• “Thank you for the communication through this period. It’s been a tough time for everyone and you removed a lot of the uncertainty around what was happening for us casual workers extremely swiftly and concisely”
• “Everybody has been very kind and helpful”
• “Thank you for the updates … Everybody is the only place that I work who is keeping in contact, checking we are okay, offering support and trying to help.”
