Summary

Make Early Years an Adventure in Brockley! ✨

Do you see the world through the wonder-filled eyes of a child? Are you ready to bring your brightest ideas, biggest smiles, and boundless enthusiasm to the playroom every single day?

We are teaming up with vibrant, highly-rated nurseries across Brockley, and we are on the hunt for energetic, dedicated Early Years Practitioners and Experienced Assistants to supercharge our supply team.

We know that shaping little minds is an absolute thrill, but it shouldn't mean sacrificing your own downtime. If you want to dive straight into the fun, messy, and magical parts of childcare while enjoying a work schedule that completely revolves around your lifestyle, this is exactly where you belong!

Why You Will Love Being in Our Network:

Top-Tier Weekly Pay: Your fantastic energy deserves exceptional rewards. Take home £12.75 per hour, landing safely in your bank account every single Friday.

Keep It Local in SE4: Forget the stressful city commutes. Our "Local-First" approach connects you with wonderful early years settings right on your doorstep in Brockley.

Total Rota Freedom: You are the master of your own time. Whether you want to work a packed five-day week, a couple of playful mornings, or just during term time, you tell us when you want to shine.

The £100 High-Five: Great practitioners flock together! Introduce another passionate early years professional to our network, and we will celebrate with a £100 cash bonus once they hit 100 hours of work!

The Brilliant Talent We Are Looking For:

We need proactive, joyful educators who are never afraid to jump into the sandpit. We are actively welcoming applicants through two fantastic pathways:

1. The Qualified Pros (Level 2 & Level 3):

You hold a "Full & Relevant" Early Years qualification (such as a CACHE, NVQ, NNEB, or Level 3 Early Years Educator diploma).

(Please note: Teaching Assistant or Health & Social Care pathways do not meet the statutory nursery ratio requirements for this specific tier).

2. The Experienced Unqualified Heroes:

You might not have the official paperwork in hand just yet, but your practical experience and natural, vibrant flair for childcare are undeniable! If you have recent, verifiable professional experience in a nursery and love getting stuck in, we want to hear from you.

What You Must Bring to the Floor:

The Spark: A relentless passion for early childhood, bulletproof reliability, and the sheer enthusiasm to tackle every daily routine with a positive, uplifting mindset.

The Safety Shield: Holding a Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate is highly preferred. If you do not currently have one, you must be fully committed to completing the training to keep our nursery spaces incredibly safe.

Jump Straight into the Action 🚀

We know your time is valuable, so we cut out the endless red tape. If you hold an active Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or are ready to apply for one) and can provide two professional childcare references, we will fast-track your clearance so you can get straight to the fun part.

Click "Apply Now" to send us your CV, or bypass the queue entirely by visiting us directly at www.nexter.co.uk. Let’s match your incredible energy with an Brockely nursery that will celebrate it!

Essential requirements

What Makes You a Great Fit: A Little Experience: You must have a foundation of at least 3 months of hands-on experience working within a nursery setting. No Formal Qualifications Needed: You do not need a Level 2 or Level 3 diploma for this role—just your practical know-how and a true passion for early years care! Your Vibe: You bring a positive, reliable, and eager-to-learn energy to the room. We don't expect perfection on day one; your enthusiasm is your best asset. Your Commitment to Safety: A rigorous dedication to safeguarding is essential. (An Enhanced DBS check is required for this role).
