Early Years Specialist (Supply) – Leeds Central & Suburbs

We believe that local talent should be rewarded with local work. Many agencies send staff across the city for low pay; we prioritize keeping you in your neighborhood with the best agency rates in Leeds.

What to Expect from the Role: Working on supply in Leeds is fast-paced and deeply rewarding. You aren't just "covering a shift"—you are a specialist who ensures children have a safe, productive day. You will lead sensory play in the baby room, facilitate outdoor adventures for pre-schoolers, and support permanent teams with the daily flow of nursery life. You need to be "nursery-ready" from the moment you walk through the door, with a proactive attitude and a genuine love for child development.

The Qualification Bar:

• Qualified Tiers: You must hold a Level 2 or Level 3 in Childcare/Early Years.

• Important Note: Health & Social Care or Teaching Assistant (TA) qualifications do not meet the "Full and Relevant" criteria for nursery ratios.

• Unqualified Tier: If you have a different qualification but have proven experience in a nursery setting, we welcome you as an Unqualified Practitioner.

• The 2025 Standard: All staff counted in ratios must hold a Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate. If you don't have this, you must be willing to complete this in order to comply with the latest 2025 regulations.
