Job Description

Job Overview

Do you have children of your own to take and collect from school.

But still have the qualifications and experience to share the lead of our Toddler room with another practitioner.

We understand how difficult it is to juggle our own children with our career so we are fully flexible with working hours to make it easier for those working parents who have other commitments like school drop offs and collections to put their qualifications and experience in our sector to good use.

Our core staff at the nursery are already in place working early shifts and late shifts but we need 2 people with strong leadership skills to share the role of our Toddler room lead.

Our opening hours are 8:00 oclock till 4:30 so we need two candidates to share those days and ensure our Toddlers always have a lead in their room to oversee the running of the room and guild the Toddler room staff.
We're a small team but we're dedicated to our children and find it really easy to create a fun, warm and loving environment to nurture our little minds.

Participate in ongoing professional development to enhance skills and knowledge in early childhood education.

Excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written, to engage with children, parents, and colleagues.
