Are you new to child care or looking for a new challenge?
We would love to hear from you
We are looking for someone special who can build fabulous relationships with babies and young children and can be intuitive to their ever changing needs.
You will need to be proactive and passionate and an excellent team player. This is a busy nursery, full of laughter and fun so you will need to be comfortable with working at a pace and be quick to think on your feet.
Ideally you will hold a full and relevant level 3 childcare qualification, but we are also keen to talk to people looking to develop in this role who may not yet hold this. In fact we have regularly supported people through their level three qualifications whilst working with us, so if you can demonstrate your ability and commitment, we could discuss this route with you at interview.
For experienced practitioners already working in this role, there is scope to be employed at a Senior Practitioner level subject to you having the desired skills to meet the role.
Experience of working with children in some capacity is a must.
Please be aware that given the nature of the role, you will need to meet our safeguarding criteria and hold a clear DBS check to work alongside children.
