As part of the team, you'll play a key role in creating a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment. Whether supporting outdoor play, leading creative activities, or helping structure the day, your contribution will make a real difference to children's early learning journeys.

This opportunity is ideal for qualified practitioners as well as those with practical childcare experience who are looking to secure a rewarding role within a supportive early years setting. It's also well-suited to individuals returning to the sector or looking to further develop their experience.

  • Confidence supporting outdoor learning and play-based activities
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work well within a team
  • A genuine passion for supporting children's development and wellbeing
  • Basic understanding of safeguarding and early years practices, or willingness to learn
