Flexible Childcare Workers
Pay: £13.80–£16.80 per hour
About the Role
Looking for work that slots around your life, rather than the other way round? We're on the hunt for dependable, flexible Childcare Workers to join our expanding team, providing cover for nurseries, preschools, and primary schools throughout Greater Manchester.
Youchoosework matches vetted, caring individuals with local childcare providers in need of flexible cover during short-term staff absences. Whether you're a parent, a student fitting work around your course, a retired childcare professional, or someone stepping back into employment, this role gives you the freedom to work on your own terms.
What the Role Involves
- Providing cover for registered childcare settings and schools across Greater Manchester.
- Working with children aged 0–11 across nursery, preschool, and primary school environments
- Helping settings maintain safe staff-to-child ratios so they can keep delivering quality care
What's On Offer
- Total flexibility — take on as much or as little work as suits you, with fresh shifts posted daily via the app
- Pick your own shifts, times, and locations through our straightforward app
- Competitive pay of £13.80–£16.80 per hour, paid weekly by Youchoosework
- A warm, supportive onboarding experience from a team who know the childcare sector inside out
- Access to a growing network of vetted childcare settings across Greater Manchester
- A great way to build childcare experience or test out a career in the sector before committing long-term
What We're Looking For
- A real enthusiasm for working with children — experience and qualifications are a bonus but not always required
- Good written and spoken English
- Reliability, professionalism, and a can-do attitude
- An Enhanced DBS check (don't have one? We'll walk you through getting it)
- You'll need to be based in or near Greater Manchester and able to travel to local settings
