Job Description

"Helloooooo, dear! Looking for a job with heart, humour, and a hint of magic?"

Well don't just stand there like a statue in a cold garden -- come on in! At Brooklands, we believe childhood should be full of giggles, glitter, and growth (preferably not in the same corner of the room). And we're looking for a marvellous Level 3 Practitioner to join our happy little family.

If you're patient like a saint, playful like a pup, and not afraid of a little finger paint in your eyebrows -- well, you might be exactly who we're looking for, dear.

A Bit About Us...

Brooklands isn't just a setting -- it's a safe haven for small humans and grown-up hearts. We're a place where:

Children are treated like the bright, bold beings they are Staff are trusted, listened to, and thanked often (with real biscuits, not just polite applause) Laughter and learning live side by side -- and sometimes dance around the sand tray
?

What We're Looking For:

You, dear! If you:

Hold a Level 3 Early Years qualification Think learning should be fun, not forced Know your EYFS, but still make time for silly songs and sticky tape Love working in a team that rallies through glitter explosions and mystery puddles See children as curious, capable, clever cookies (which they are, most days)
Then pop on your comfy shoes, pack your patience, and bring your best storytelling voice -- we'd love to meet you.

?

In Return, We Offer:

A salary up to 25,610 a year (that's no small potatoes!) Your birthday off -- because you deserve cake and a nap, not nappies Tailored CPD -- because even the best need polishing now and then Childcare discounts, a company pension, and enough love to fill a snack trolley A setting that's built on kindness, consistency, and community
?

Hours & Flexibility:

32-38 hours per week, 51 weeks a year (we're a full-time kind of family) Monday to Friday, between 7:30am and 6:00pm Part-time or job share? We're open, dear -- just ask!
?

Location & Must-Haves:

You'll need to reliably commute to lovely Wigan (WN4 0BS) Or be ready to relocate before starting -- we do love a fresh start! Nursery experience? One year preferred, but we're more impressed by spark, sincerity, and spirit
And just a pinch of practicality, pet:

You must have the right to work in the UK A clear, enhanced DBS check (we'll help you with that if needed) And we'll need two successful references before you join the fun -- thank you kindly!
Fancy a Chat, Pet?

Give us a ring on 01942 760066 or send a sweet note to Tanya@brooklandschildcare.co.uk. Come see the magic for yourself. We'll pop the kettle on.

Because darling, the best early years practice doesn't come from fancy words or shiny displays -- it comes from real people who care deeply, give generously, and know how to find the joy in even the stickiest situations.
