* Supporting, developing and motivating your team to achieve excellence
* Opportunities to take on additional regional duties as part of your progression — with genuine promotional prospects
Requirements

* A minimum of NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Childcare/Early Years Education
* Enhanced DBS clearance within the child workforce sector
* At least 2 years post-qualifying experience and 2 years experience managing a nursery setting or similar
* A confident, positive leader with strong communication skills and a genuine passion for early years
* Someone who thrives on a challenge and is excited by the idea of building a team and community from scratch
Benefits
What you'll get in return
* Competitive salary: £35,000 - £40,000 per year
* 22 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays (with flexibility around working patterns)
* Fully funded Level 5 Leadership qualification - we'll support your career growth
* Promotional opportunities with regional duties
* Discounted childcare
* Annual awards ceremony - hotel stay and travel included
* Regular team-building events and monthly employee awards
* 24/7 Employee Support Line for wellbeing and mental health support
