Our Early Learning and Childcare setting has opened in a purpose built building on the campus of St John Vianney Primary School.
We need ambitious, caring staff to join us in creating a truly excellent setting for supporting the children and families of our community. The setting is expanding its staff team, providing an environment for the development of sector leaders and establishing outstanding practice. We are looking for applicants who want to learn with us, and who also bring something with them to share with the team.
In this exciting time for working in ELC, we hope you are as inspired as we are by the potential for improving the lives of children, and that you will relish the vital role you can have in making children’s rights a lived reality. Our new setting provides indoor and outdoor spaces all year round, and you will be part of the team delivering the experiences and interactions that our children will enjoy and remember.
We hope you are a committed worker who is full of ideas and understands how to involve others in bringing about positive change.
