Full job description

Senior Early Years Practitioner

with depute responsibilities · 34 hours, 4-day week

Wildnest is a brand-new nursery opening in Laurencekirk this autumn - and we’re looking for a special someone to help us bring it to life from the very beginning.

From the very first day, you’ll be one of the people who builds the culture here - shaping how we work, how we care for the children, and how it feels to walk through our doors. If you’re calm, creative, and you believe that connection comes before everything else, we’d love to meet you.

The role

As our Senior Early Years Practitioner you’ll lead practice on the floor and step into a depute role when the manager is off. It’s a hands-on, people-first role. Day to day, you’ll:

Lead and model great practice across the playroom, setting the tone for the team
Plan rich, playful activities in line with the relevant curriculum planning
Mentor and support the staff team, helping everyone grow
Support the daily rhythms and routines that make children feel secure
Carry out quality assurance activities and help us reach for excellence
Make sure children’s plans are created, kept up to date, and put into practice meaningfully
Oversee day-to-day ratios so the setting stays safe and well-staffed
Champion warm, positive communication across the whole team
Offer emotional and behavioural support in line with Wildnest’s nurturing approach
Manage the daily news feed, parent communication, and meaningful observations shared with families
Support the manager with our monthly events
Uphold our nurture principles - and help the team live them too
Keep our environment clean, safe, and in line with relevant guidance, with safeguarding and child protection always followed

Our nurture principles matter to us

Nurture sits at the heart of everything we do. We work to the six nurture principles, and we want someone who already feels this deeply - or is excited to grow into it.

1 Children’s learning is understood developmentally

2 The environment offers a safe base

3 Nurture is important for wellbeing and self-esteem

4 Language is a vital means of communication

5 All behaviour is communication

6 Transitions are significant in children’s lives

Who we’re hoping to meet

Above all, we’re hoping to meet you. The right person will be:

Calm and creative, with a genuine love of working alongside children
Brilliant at building positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues
Someone who understands child development and puts connection first
Confident leading and mentoring others with warmth and kindness
Excited by the chance to help shape something new from the ground up

What you’ll need

To meet the SSSC registration requirements for a practitioner role
A Level 4 / PDA qualification - or a willingness to work towards it
Ideally nurture-trained, though full training will be provided if not

Sound like you?

If you’ve read this and thought “that’s me” - we’d genuinely love to hear from you.

Apply now with your CV and we will be in touch with the next steps.

Pay & benefits are discussed on application.
