Early Years Supply Practitioner – Halifax & Sowerby Bridge (HX1 & HX6)

The Role: What to Expect

As a supply practitioner, no two days are the same. You will be the vital support system for local nurseries, helping them maintain safe ratios and high-quality care. Your responsibilities will include:

• Engaging Young Minds: Implementing the EYFS framework through creative play, messy play, and outdoor learning.

• Providing Nurturing Care: Assisting with daily routines, including meal times, snacks, and personal care for children aged 0-5.

• Team Collaboration: Working alongside permanent nursery teams to ensure a happy, safe, and "enabling" environment.

• Communication: Giving professional handovers to parents and permanent staff members.

Requirements: What You Need

We pride ourselves on the quality of our staff, so we do have a specific entry bar:

• Experience: You must have at least 3 months of recent experience working in a private day nursery or preschool (School-only experience or babysitting is not suitable).

• The 7:00 AM Call: You must be reachable and ready to accept bookings from 7:00 AM on the days you choose to work.

• Qualifications: Level 2 or Level 3 in Childcare is preferred, but we welcome applications from Unqualified Assistants with significant nursery experience.

• Compliance: You must have an Enhanced Child Workforce DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to pay for and process a new one immediately).

• Skills: A solid understanding of Safeguarding and the EYFS framework.

Benefits: Why Join Our HX Team?

• Top-Tier Pay: We pay £13.00 (L3), £12.50 (L2), and £12.25 (UNQ).

• Friday Payday: Reliable weekly pay, every single Friday.

• Local to You: We prioritize shifts in Halifax (HX1) and Sowerby Bridge (HX6) to keep your travel time to a minimum.

• Total Flexibility: Update your availability weekly via our portal—work as much or as little as you want.

• Professional Support: A dedicated consultant who knows the Calderdale area and is always just a phone call away.
