Nursery Manager
An opportunity has opened to join our team at Enya’s, and it feels like a really special one.
Our current Manager Emily, who we absolutely adore, is expecting another baby and will be stepping away to continue building her family after 7 wonderful years with us. She has been such a huge part of our journey, and while she will be deeply missed, we couldn’t be happier for her.
This means a rare opportunity has opened to step into a role that doesn’t come around often, to take the reins of a well-established, loved, and thriving setting.
At Enya’s, we do things with intention. We slow down, we notice, we build relationships, and we hold childhood with the respect it deserves. Our team is the strongest it has ever been, and we are looking for someone who will nurture that, grow it, and lead it with warmth, clarity, and heart.
If you are someone who believes in early years, values people, and wants to lead in a way that feels aligned and purposeful, we would love to hear from you.
