The Caring Practitioner We Need:

We are looking for warm, approachable educators who want to make a real difference in the early years. You do not need years of unbroken experience—just a great attitude, your Level 3 qualification, and a love for working with children!

• Planning and delivering engaging, age-appropriate activities based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

• Building lovely, open relationships with parents and carers, sharing updates on their child's daily adventures.

• Working closely with a friendly team who will be there to guide, support, and collaborate with you every step of the way.

What you must bring to the room:

• The Right Qualifications: A full, recognized Level 3 Early Years qualification.

• First Aid Bonus: A valid 12-hour Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate unlocks our top rate of £14.50 per hour! (If you do not have this yet, we still absolutely want to hear from you and can support your training!)

• The Right Attitude: A positive mindset, whether you are refreshing your skills after a break or putting your brand-new qualification into practice.

• Safety First: A strict commitment to safeguarding and child protection. (Please note: An Enhanced DBS check is required).
