Job Description

Do you want to move away from a busy nursery? Or looking to start a great childcare career?

Come and experience working in our hybrid setting based in Horspath Village, OX33 1RG, a cross between a nursery and childminder, in our cabin. We look after 10 precious little ones each day who are experiencing their first time away from home and helping parents and carers transition back to work.

We are looking for a person qualified in level 2 or 3 childcare or willing to do an apprenticeship to join our small, informal, friendly team. You need to be able to work in a small cosy loving environment that provides a home from home for the children and staff alike.

Personal qualities would include being friendly, caring, compassionate, reliable, and having good communication skills.

As part of the team you will be responsible for taking care of the children's daily needs and providing a warm, welcoming and entertaining day for them with the help of the rest of our team.

You will be required to use initiative and planning to expand their learning and be able to communicate clearly to the children's parents and children alike.

We take safeguarding very seriously so the job will be dependant on a clear DBS check, references and Ofsted approval prior to starting. Although this takes time, it should be straightforward.

You will ideally have a level 3 or a minimum level 2 in childcare. Courses such as safeguarding, food hygiene and first aid can be provided along with any other additional courses of your interest relating to childcare. We can offer apprenticeships for the right person.

Part-time hours: Minimum of 3 days. Full day hours are required. A full day is 8am - 5pm. We can offer a permanent contract or a temporary contract to help cover an upcoming maternity leave.
