Covering sickness and holiday, hours will change week to week, but are very flexible and may suit someone looking for a few hours, or perhaps someone semi retired looking for a few days a week?

• Regular staff/team outings and celebrations – let your hair down, you deserve it!
• Free staff uniform – comfortable polo shirts, and a coat for outdoors!

What are we looking for:

• Previous childcare experience, ideally in a day nursery setting
• A passion for childcare and Early Years
• Flexibility and reliability.
• Due to our location a full driving licence and own transport would be preferred.

Please note the nursery will be open from 7:30am-6:30pm, Monday to Friday and so shift patterns will be rotating within these opening hours. Please make sure you can commit to early and late shifts before applying.
