Early Years Opportunities - Flexible Work in Wakefield
Organisation: Veritas Education
Location: Wakefield
Looking for flexible early years work that fits around your lifestyle? Veritas Education is working with a friendly, welcoming nursery in Wakefield that offers a relaxed, nature-inspired setting where no two days feel the same.
Whether you're looking for regular hours, a few days each week, or just occasional shifts, this opportunity gives you the freedom to choose what works best for you-while still being part of a supportive and upbeat team.
This nursery is all about fresh air, outdoor adventures, and helping children thrive through hands-on learning. From exploring nature to staying active and building confidence, children are encouraged to discover the world around them in a fun, healthy, and balanced way.
As part of the team, you'll play a key role in creating a warm, engaging environment where children feel happy, safe, and excited to learn. One day you might be leading outdoor play, the next encouraging creativity or simply helping maintain a calm and positive atmosphere.
This role is perfect for qualified practitioners or those with practical childcare experience who want something more flexible and rewarding. It's also a fantastic option if you're returning to early years or want to keep your skills fresh without committing to a full-time schedule.

A caring, patient, and enthusiastic approach
Confidence supporting outdoor play and nature-based activities
Strong communication skills and a team-focused mindset
A genuine passion for supporting children's development and wellbeing

Enjoy flexible working that fits your life, competitive pay, and the chance to work in a setting that truly values wellbeing, fresh air, and a nurturing approach to childcare. You'll be joining a friendly, down-to-earth team where your contribution is appreciated every day.
