Level 2 Early Years Practitioner / Nursery Assistant | Huddersfield & Dewsbury | £13.00ph

Looking for a Flexible, Friendly Nursery Role in Huddersfield & Dewsbury?

Whether you recently achieved your Level 2 in Early Years/Childcare and want to build real room confidence, or you hold a Level 2 qualification and are returning to work around your family life, Nexter Recruitment offers a supportive, low-pressure way to work in early years education.

We are seeing steady, high demand from warm, welcoming partner nurseries and community early years settings across Kirklees. We have immediate, flexible cover needs concentrated in Huddersfield Centre (HD1), Lindley (HD3), Dewsbury (WF12/WF13), and Batley (WF17).

You can earn dependable weekly pay and choose your own days, without getting tied down by rigid contracted hours or endless administrative duties.

Why Level 2 Educators Love Working with Nexter:

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

• Total Diary Freedom: Work 1, 2, or 5 days a week—it’s entirely up to you. Easily schedule your availability around nursery drop-offs, family commitments, or further studies (like working toward your Level 3!).

• Zero Planning or Profile Tracking: Spend your shifts doing what you actually enjoy: setting up creative activities, reading stories, and helping children learn through play. No learning journals, tracker portals, or observations to complete after hours.

• Supportive Room Teams: Step in as a valued extra pair of hands alongside experienced room leaders who appreciate your assistance with daily routines and room ratios.

• Hyper-Local Postcode Matching: We match you directly to settings in HD1, HD2, HD3, HD5, WF12, WF13, and WF17, cutting down on unnecessary travel across Kirklees and saving you fuel.

What We Look For:

• The Qualification: A recognised, "Full & Relevant" Level 2 Childcare qualification (e.g., NVQ Level 2 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, CACHE Level 2 Certificate, or equivalent). Newly qualified practitioners are warmly welcomed!

• Paediatric First Aid (PFA): A current 12-Hour Paediatric First Aid certificate unlocks our £13.00/hr rate. (If your certificate has expired while taking a break, we can get you active and help you book a certified refresher).

• Everyday Knowledge: A practical understanding of the EYFS framework, statutory ratios, and basic safeguarding procedures.

• Clearance Checks: An Enhanced DBS (registered on the Update Service, or we can assist you in running a fresh one) and 2 professional, verifiable references.

Simple, Stress-Free Sign-Up 

We don't do intimidating interview panels. We’ll have a brief, friendly conversation about your background, the age groups you enjoy working with most, and which Kirklees postcodes suit your commute.
