  • Support children's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development

    • What We're Looking For

  • Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years or Childcare
  • Previous experience working within a nursery or early years setting
  • A genuine passion for supporting young children to reach their full potential
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • A positive, proactive, and caring approach
  • Good knowledge of the EYFS framework and safeguarding practices

    • What's On Offer?

  • Full-time positions available across Leeds
  • Competitive rates of pay
  • Opportunities within a variety of established nursery settings
  • Supportive management teams and welcoming colleagues
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Career progression opportunities
  • The chance to work in rewarding environments where your contribution is recognised and appreciated

    • If you're an experienced Early Years Practitioner looking for a fresh opportunity in a nursery that values both its children and staff, we'd love to help you find the right role.
