Are you a happy, supportive and fun loving individual who dreams of a job where no two days are the same? An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as a Childcare Officer at our First Steps Nursery based at Worthing College.
Working with young babies through to children ready to start school, you will share your love for learning and make a real difference in children’s development and learning journeys. Together with our dedicated team, you will be a part of ensuring the children are learning, socialising, exploring and having fun.
Benefits of working as a Childcare Officer for First Steps Childcare include highly competitive salary and above statutory annual leave entitlement, plus wellbeing days and closure days over the Christmas period (which are not deducted from leave entitlement). First Steps Staff also get a significant discount on First Steps Nursery fees!
Set in a fantastic 18 acre parkland campus, located at the foot of the South Downs, First Steps Worthing is situated in a convenient central Worthing location, and located a few minutes’ walk from the local park which allows the opportunity for children to explore their wider world.
With a recognised Level 3 qualification in Early Childhood Studies (or equivalent), you will be enthusiastic, organised and flexible with previous experience of working in a childcare setting. Though not essential, a First Aid certificate would be desirable.
This role is for a fixed term period of maternity cover for a maximum of one year, or until the return, resignation or replacement of the current post holder, whichever is sooner.
