We are looking for a candidate who can build positive relationships, adapt to different classroom environments, and support pupils with a range of learning needs.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who hold a Level 3 Childcare, Early Years Educator or equivalent qualification, although experienced Nursery Nurses and childcare professionals with relevant transferable skills are also encouraged to apply. Previous experience working within a nursery, pre-school, school nursery, childcare setting or Early Years environment is highly desirable. To be successful in this role, you will need strong communication skills, patience, creativity, adaptability and a genuine passion for supporting young children during this important stage of their development.
