This is a long-term opportunity with the potential to become permanent for the right Early Years Practitioner.

What will you be doing?

You’ll work closely with an experienced nursery team to create a safe, happy and stimulating environment where children can learn, explore and thrive.

You’ll help plan and deliver engaging activities, encourage communication and language development, support growing independence and celebrate children's achievements along the way.

You’ll support children at different stages of their Early Years journey and work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure their individual needs are met.

What are we looking for?

  • A Level 3 Childcare qualification or equivalent
  • Previous experience working with young children in an Early Years setting
  • A genuine passion for helping children learn, develop and have fun
  • A warm, caring and positive personality
  • Plenty of enthusiasm, creativity and energy
  • A flexible, proactive and ‘can-do’ attitude
  • The ability to work confidently as part of a team

What’s in it for you?

  • £14–£15 per hour
  • Opportunity to secure a long-term role with permanent potential
  • A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7
  • CPD courses and certificates through the My-Progression channel
  • Market-leading rates of pay
  • TeacherActive Referral Scheme – receive up to £100 when you refer a friend*
  • Ongoing support throughout your placement

Our staff are paid on a PAYE basis, meaning the correct Tax and National Insurance contributions are taken without unnecessary administration charges coming out of your hard-earned pay.
