Job Description

Footsteps is a state-of-the-art setting located in Wilmslow. As a result of the increasing interest in the nursery we now have an opening for a full-time Early Years Practitioner.

So, if you are motivated, reflective and happiest when having fun with children Footsteps is the right place for you

In return we offer a company that genuinely cares for its staff, our staff are our greatest asset and we are fortunate to have a well-established, motivated and friendly team.

To be successful in this role you need:

A calm yet hard working and nurturing personality that inspires and encourages a child to have confidence in themselves. To be able to work well within a team environment. To have a real love of working with children and to be young at heart yourself. To have the ability to read a book upside down and back to front with 101 interruptions but still wear a smile on your face. To have the magic skills that make children believe you really do have eyes in the back of your head. To never bat an eye when you are asked to be a Dinosaur or a Princess but instead embrace the challenge and be the best Dinosaur or Princess you can be. To be able to sing a repertoire of songs, not essentially in tune or even with the right words, but always with enthusiasm. To be able to laugh at jokes you don't truly understand. To appreciate the variety of conversations you will be having....yes, they really did say that! To accept you may go home with blotches on your clothes that in the past may have caused a panic attack but now are a memory which makes you smile. To have the ability to see the world through the eyes of our little people and endeavour to create magical moments that remain in their memories for a lifetime. A commitment to your continuous professional development.
It really is one of the most rewarding and most varied jobs you could ever do and we encourage our staff to unleash their creativity on a daily basis and create the awe and wonder of the world around us for the children in our care.

In return we will also encourage and support your continued professional development

So, if you are the sort of person who has a genuine loving and nurturing personality and continual strives to be the best they can be and you feel you have the ability to get the best out of the children each and every day we are the company for you.

The successful applicant will either have a level 2 or above in Childcare or be committed to gaining a qualification in Childcare.

We look forwarding to hearing from you
