Nursery Assistant (3+ Months UK Nursery Exp Required) | Wakefield (WF5 & WF10) | £12.75ph

Have Hands-On UK Nursery Experience but No Formal Qualification? 🌈✨

If you have spent at least 3 months working in a UK private day nursery or early years setting, you already have the practical room skills that matter most. You understand how to engage little learners, comfort babies and toddlers, manage snack times, and help keep daily routines running like clockwork.

You do not need a formal NVQ or diploma to earn reliable weekly money doing work you genuinely enjoy.

Nexter Recruitment is currently experiencing high demand from friendly partner nurseries across the Wakefield district—especially along the WF5 (Ossett) and WF10 (Castleford / Glasshoughton / Allerton Bywater) corridors. Our settings are actively looking for dependable, caring assistants to step in, support statutory room ratios, and be an extra pair of capable hands.

Why Join Our Assistant Network Across Wakefield:

• Reliable Weekly Income: Earn £12.75 per hour, deposited directly into your bank account every Friday.

• Total Control of Your Diary: Work 1 day a week, 3 days, or full 5-day weeks. Choose your working days week by week to balance around your own childcare, family routines, or college studies.

• Pure Childcare, Zero Paperwork: Say goodbye to learning journals, profile tracking, and evening planning folders. When your shift ends, you clock out and leave your work completely behind.

• Supportive Room Teams: You will work alongside qualified room leaders who appreciate your assistance with messy play, sensory activities, story sessions, and outdoor fun.

• Hyper-Local Placements: We prioritize placing you in nurseries close to home across WF5 (Ossett, Horbury borders) and WF10 (Castleford, Glasshoughton, Allerton Bywater), helping you save on fuel and avoid frustrating travel.

•  

What We Look For:

• Verifiable Experience: At least 3 months of solid, recent experience working inside a UK private day nursery, pre-school, or early years centre.

• Proactive Mindset: Caring, reliable, energetic, and happy to get stuck into creative crafts, playtime, and daily room care.

• Paediatric First Aid (PFA): A 12-hour Paediatric First Aid certificate is a great bonus! If you don't have one, we can still get you started and help you book onto a certified course.

• Compliance Checks: An Enhanced DBS check (registered on the Update Service, or we can assist you in processing a new one) and 2 professional, verifiable references (with at least one covering childcare).

A Quick, Friendly Sign-Up 🚀

No intimidating panels or written tests. We will have an easy phone chat about your room experience, preferred age groups, and which postcodes in WF5 and WF10 are most convenient for your commute.
