Would you like to be part of a fun, supportive team and work in a homely environment? We are looking for someone to join our nursery team.
The team at The Court House in Knowle are welcoming and friendly. The nursery is run by a family business who really care for the staff and the family atmosphere is apparent across the whole nursery.
Getting to The Court House is easy - it's on lots of bus routes and there is a safe place to leave bikes. You get a paid lunch break and uniform provided.
If you have a childcare qualification we would be delighted to hear from you, but if you are looking for an unqualified opportunity we can also support this and your training to start a childcare career.
All we ask is that you are committed to working (full time) with children, are positive, enthusiastic and reliable and live within easy commuting distance of the nursery - please do not reply if you do not live nearby.
THE ROLE
The role is full-time: 40 hours per week, year-round. The nurseries are open from 7.30am until 6pm and candidates must be available to work their shifts (usually 8 hours, including paid lunch break) during those times.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join our friendly team in our busy and thriving, but homely, nursery. You will work with the children as part of a team setting up an engaging environment; responding to the children’s needs; working with families as a Key Person and observing, assessing and supporting each child’s development “in the moment”. This is also an excellent opportunity for someone to start in childcare with the intention of gaining a qualification to start a career in this rewarding sector.
