About Us

Maxwellton Park Nursery and Out of School Care is a well-established, family-oriented Early Learning and Childcare service in Paisley, providing funded nursery education in partnership with Renfrewshire Council alongside out of school care. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children thrive and families feel valued.

· Build effective relationships with local schools and community partners

· Maintain effective partnerships with Renfrewshire Council and ensure compliance with funded provider requirements

Requirements

· BA in Childhood Practice or an SCQF Level 9 qualification (or working towards one)

· Registration with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC)

· Proven experience in a senior or management role within an early years setting

· Strong leadership and organisational skills

· Excellent knowledge of GIRFEC and child protection procedures

· Passion for delivering outstanding childcare

· Demonstrable commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children

The Person

You will be an enthusiastic and resilient leader with excellent communication and organisational skills.
