Up to £33,000 annual salary

About the Role

As Third in Charge, you'll support the leadership team while continuing to lead high-quality practice within your room.

You will:

Support the day-to-day running of the nursery alongside the management team

Lead your room, ensuring high-quality care and education

Step up in the absence of senior leaders to support operational responsibilities

Build strong partnerships with families and maintain open communication

Support and mentor team members to develop their practice

Maintain high standards of safeguarding, health and safety and compliance

This role offers a clear pathway into leadership, giving you exposure to both room-based and nursery-wide responsibilities.

You're a confident and caring early years professional who is ready to take your next step into leadership.

You will have:

Level 2 or 3 Early Years qualification (or above)

Strong knowledge of EYFS, Birth to 5 Matters and child development

Experience of working in an early years setting, ideally as a senior practitioner or room leader

A track record of delivering high standards of care and education

Experience of strong practice as a Key Person and in implementing safeguarding, health and safety, first aid and critical care policies.

Strong organisational, communication and teamwork skills

GCSE Maths and English (Grade 4 /C or above); or equivalent

Most importantly, you will bring ambition, initiative and a passion for developing both children and your team.
