Brief overview of the role
Salary: Up to £13.50 per hour (depending on experience)
Hours: 20–50 hours per week, Monday to Friday (depending on role and availability)
Goulton Grange Day Nursery is a warm, welcoming setting located on a working farm in the village of Potto, near Northallerton. We are currently looking to appoint a qualified Nursery Practitioner (Level 2 or Level 3) to join our friendly and experienced team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate early years practitioner who enjoys working in a rural, outdoor-focused environment where children benefit from hands‑on learning and real‑life experiences.
Due to our rural location, you will need your own reliable transport to get to and from work each day.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Supporting children’s learning and development through play‑based activities.
* Helping to maintain a safe and welcoming environment, both indoors and outdoors.
* Assisting with daily routines such as mealtimes, activities, and outdoor play.
* Building positive relationships with children, parents, and carers.
* Supporting staff with basic record keeping, such as attendance and accident records.
* Following nursery policies and procedures, including safeguarding and health and safety.
* Carrying out tasks delegated by the Nursery Manager or senior staff.
What We Are Looking For
* Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years / Childcare
* Enthusiastic, caring, and keen to learn.
* Reliable, punctual, and able to follow instructions.
* A team player who enjoys being involved in all aspects of nursery life.
* Comfortable working both indoors and outdoors in a farm setting.
* Able to communicate well with children and adults.
* Confident with basic numeracy and literacy.
Things to Consider
* Our nursery embraces outdoor learning as a core part of everyday practice. Children and staff spend time outside throughout the year, in a variety of weather conditions, making the most of our unique farm setting.
* The role is based in a rural location that is not served by public transport, so applicants must be able to travel to work reliably each day.
* The successful applicant will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check and other suitability checks in line with safeguarding requirements.
* Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
