Summary
Nursery Practitioner – Bishops Stortford
Pay: £16.05 per hour | Long-Term / Permanent Opportunity
TeacherActive is looking for a passionate and dedicated Nursery Practitioner to join a welcoming nursery setting in Bishops Stortford. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a long-term or permanent position within early years, with the chance to gain experience across different rooms before being allocated a room to work in longer term.
THE ROLE
As a Nursery Practitioner, you will initially work across all rooms within the nursery, supporting children at different stages of their early years development. This will give you the opportunity to build relationships with children and staff, gain experience across different age groups and become familiar with the setting before being allocated a room for the longer term.
Your responsibilities will include:
•
Supporting children's learning, development and wellbeing in line with the EYFS framework.
•
Planning and supporting fun, engaging and age-appropriate activities.
•
Creating a safe, caring and stimulating environment for children.
•
Supporting children's personal, social and emotional development.
•
Working closely with colleagues to provide high-quality childcare.
•
Following safeguarding procedures and nursery policies at all times.
REQUIREMENTS
To be considered for this position, you must hold a recognised Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years or Childcare.
Previous experience working in a nursery or early years setting is beneficial, particularly if you have experience supporting children across different age groups. However, extensive experience is not essential. If you have the relevant qualification, a positive attitude and a genuine interest in working with children, we would be happy to hear from you.
We are looking for someone who is reliable, enthusiastic, caring and keen to develop their skills within a nursery environment.
WHAT THE SETTING OFFERS
•
£16.05 per hour.
•
Long-term or permanent employment opportunity.
•
On-site parking.
•
Free breakfast and lunch provided.
•
The opportunity to gain experience across all nursery rooms.
•
The chance to settle into a designated room for the longer term.
•
A supportive environment to develop your early years career.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM TEACHERACTIVE:
•
A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to support you through the easy onboarding process.
•
Guaranteed Payment Scheme (Terms and Conditions apply).
•
CPD courses and certificates through the My-Progression channel.
