We have full time and part time vacancies in our Children and Family Services department for Level 3 Qualified Practitioners to join our team of childcare professionals.  In our nursery, we have 2 Full time (37.5 or 40hpw) vacancies and 1 part-time (30/34hpw) vacancy. In our Outdoor learning cabin, we have a part-time opportunity to join our ‘Farm Adventurers’ team (1 x 9hpw split across 2 mornings). 

The Farm Adventurers role does not require a Level 3 qualification however, early years experience is desirable and a Forest School qualification or experience would be really valuable.

If you are interested in creating a great indoor and outdoor learning environment for the children aged 0-5 years attending our setting, building trusting relationships with their parents and carers, please apply.  If you want to give children a valuable start in life, a great early year’s education and help them to develop their social skills in a safe and caring environment that promotes learning through play, then we would love to hear from you.
