Your new company
The nursery is a medium-sized setting operating within the hours of 8am until 6pm. There is space within the nursery for an outdoor classroom, playground, green spaces and a forest school opposite. The nursery has good transport links to Brighton and Hove, is a short walk from the train station and has on-site parking. The nursery is looking for a confident and friendly individual to engage children, and oversee the development of your key children. Our nursery has an incredibly supportive and educational approach, passionate about developing its staff and actively promoting career development from within the nursery.

Your new role
In your role, you will be a Nursery Practitioner within one of the rooms in the nursery, having the responsibility of building a relationship with staff, children and their family. You will engage children in learning and help them to develop and learn new skills and independence. We try to keep paperwork to a minimum so that you can spend as much time as possible making a difference to your key children's lives. You will be assisting with the day to day running of the classes, supporting the children and using your initiative to help them succeed.

You will need to have worked within a nursery/primary/pre-prep environment in the last 2 years, and that can provide a reference. You need to have a clean, enhanced DBS check on the updated service or, if not, the nursery will run an enhanced DBS check for you. You need to be flexible and, most importantly, have a fun personality that the children will be able to engage with.
