Level 2 Nursery Practitioner / Early Years Assistant | Leeds LS9 | £13.00ph

Put Your Level 2 Childcare Qualification to Work on Your Own Schedule 🌼💛

Did you recently complete your Level 2 in Early Years or Childcare and want a friendly place to find your rhythm? Or maybe you hold a Level 2 certificate, took time away for family, and are ready to ease back onto the floor without the pressure of permanent rota lock-ins?

At Nexter Recruitment, we partner with welcoming nursery teams across East Leeds (LS9) and neighboring communities who value dependable, hands-on support.

This isn't about being handed an overwhelming folder of paperwork on your first morning. It’s an approachable, stress-free way to build confidence, gain diverse room experience, and earn dependable weekly money doing what you enjoy.

What Makes This a Great Fit for Level 2 Educators:

• Reliable Weekly Earnings: Take home £13.00 per hour (for Level 2 qualified staff holding a 12-hour Paediatric First Aid certificate), deposited straight into your bank account every Friday.

• A Rota That Works Around You: Choose your working days week by week. Work around nursery drop-offs, college modules, or simply work 2 to 3 days to suit your household routine.

• Focus on the Children, Not the Bureaucracy: Spend your shifts reading stories, facilitating sensory activities, and guiding messy play. You won't have to write observations, update tracking portals, or take work home after hours.

• Great Stepping Stone: Gain real-world room experience across baby, toddler, and pre-school rooms at your own pace—ideal if you ever plan to study for your Level 3 down the line.

• Placements Close to Your Front Door: We keep your bookings local to LS9, Richmond Hill, Burmantofts, Cross Gates, and Halton so you spend less time travelling and more time earning.

Who We're Looking For:

• The Qualification: A recognised, "Full & Relevant" Level 2 Childcare certificate (such as NVQ Level 2 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, CACHE Level 2, or equivalent). Newly qualified candidates are warmly encouraged to apply!

• The First Aid Rate: A current 12-Hour Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate qualifies you for our £13.00/hr rate. (If your certificate has lapsed while you were taking a break, we can get you active and help you renew it).

• Your Attitude: Warm-hearted, dependable, communicative, and enthusiastic about supporting early childhood play.

• The Checks: An Enhanced DBS check (either on the Update Service or willing to process a fresh one with our assistance) plus 2 verifiable references.
