Early Years Practitioner Opportunities - Flexible Hours in York Organisation: Veritas Education Location: York

Are you looking for a flexible role in early years that also helps you grow and develop? Veritas Education is working with a wonderful nursery setting in York, offering a welcoming environment alongside excellent opportunities for staff to build their knowledge and experience in early years.

This nursery is known for its supportive team, positive atmosphere, and commitment to staff development. It's a fantastic place to work, where practitioners are encouraged to learn, share ideas, and expand their skills. Whether you're experienced or still developing in your career, you'll be supported every step of the way.

The setting provides a nurturing and engaging environment for children, with a strong focus on quality care, learning through play, and creating meaningful experiences. For staff, this means the chance to be part of a forward-thinking team while gaining valuable, hands-on experience that can support your long-term career in early years.

Flexibility is a key part of this role. You can choose hours that suit your lifestyle-whether that's part-time, full-time, or more occasional shifts-making it ideal for those balancing other commitments or looking for variety in their work.

In your day-to-day role, you'll help create a safe, stimulating, and caring environment. You'll support children's learning and development, encourage creativity and play, and build positive relationships within the team and with families.

This opportunity is open to both qualified practitioners and those with relevant childcare experience. While Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications are preferred, enthusiasm, commitment, and a willingness to learn are just as important.

What we're looking for:

  • Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification (preferred) or relevant childcare experience
  • A positive, caring, and proactive approach
  • A genuine passion for supporting children's development
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Willingness to learn and develop professionally

  • Flexible working hours to suit your needs
  • Part-time, full-time, or ad hoc shifts available
  • A supportive and welcoming nursery environment
  • Ongoing opportunities to gain knowledge and develop your skills
  • Competitive rates of pay
  • A rewarding role with real career development potential
