About The Role

*Please note that this is a temporary position covering 12 month maternity leave starting January 2025*

First things first, here’s what you can expect from a career with our amazing nursery at EKC Folkestone College. Sound good? Well, here’s more about the role and our setting. The East Kent Colleges Group is home to three nurseries serving students, staff, and the local community from our Broadstairs, Canterbury, and Folkestone College campuses. Due to our popularity, we're looking for a full-time Nursery Practitioner to cover maternity leave for 12 months within our friendly Folkestone team. We will provide a hand-over from the individual going on maternity leave, and there may be other opportunities over the next year as the sector continues to grow. We pride ourselves on a great team spirit and warm, nurturing surroundings for the children in our care. We are seeking an experienced Level 3 qualified Nursery Practitioner to support the Nursery Manager and work within our team.

If you want to share your Level 3 Early Years knowledge and skills and make a difference in children's lives, and if you are committed to safeguarding, then you are the candidate we are looking for! We are dedicated to staff development and will support progression to Level 3 for the right candidate.

Our benefits include:

* Competitive salary and holiday entitlement
* Access to online discounts via our Rewards Scheme (restaurants, groceries, retail, gym, holidays)
* Cycle to work, car leasing, and tech purchase schemes
* Generous pension scheme with 18% employer contribution
* Eco-sustainability focus aiming for Net-Zero
* Time off for your child's first day at school, moving home, and interviews
* My 10 Days initiative – bid for up to 10 days off work for voluntary activities
* Participation in Community Days and Annual Staff Celebration Day


About You

We seek hardworking, experienced Level 3 practitioners with the skills to deliver high-quality care and education, making a positive impact on children's lives.

You should have nursery experience and an understanding of the EYFS. The role involves taking on a key person responsibility, delivering high-quality early years education, working with parents/carers, and maintaining welfare standards.

You must be able to communicate effectively at all levels, engage with children, parents, and families, and demonstrate knowledge of child development, children’s needs, and relevant health and safety standards. The ability to act upon health and safety information to ensure a safe environment is essential.

You should understand policies related to equality and inclusive practice and be able to implement them. Flexibility to take on additional responsibilities as needed is also required.
