What we are looking for in you
Every superhero needs someone who first believed in them.
Every artist started with a crayon and a blank piece of paper.
Every lawyer once asked a hundred curious questions before breakfast.
In early years education, we don’t just teach—we spark imaginations, nurture confidence, and lay the foundation for futures that haven’t even been dreamed of yet.
When you join the early years profession, you’re not just stepping into a nursery—you’re stepping into a place where tomorrow’s world begins. You’re guiding small hands that will one day paint masterpieces, draft laws, build rockets, or lead communities. You’re helping children discover who they are and all they can be.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present. It’s not just a job. It’s a calling…
So if you believe in the power of play, the magic of curiosity, and the importance of every child’s story—come inspire the next superhero, artist, scientist, or storyteller. Your future career is waiting at YMCA Dulverton Group. This position is for a level 3 qualified position at our setting based in Tiverton.
If you embody these qualities, and are ready to embark on a journey of learning and enrichment, we welcome your application.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and young people. We follow a safer recruitment process, all appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check and are required to provide two suitable references.
