Full job description

Lead. Develop. Make a Difference.

Rainbow Childcare is entering an exciting new phase, and we are looking for a confident, driven and experienced practitioner to step into a Unit Manager role within our setting.

This is not a traditional room leader position.

This is an opportunity to lead a team, shape practice, and drive standards within a busy and rewarding early years environment.

The Role

As a Unit Manager, you will take responsibility for a nursery unit of up to 30 children and a team of practitioners.

You will:

Lead high-quality care and learning in line with EYFS
Create a safe, stimulating and well-organised environment
Support and develop your team through day-to-day leadership
Ensure strong routines, structure and consistency across the unit
Build positive and professional relationships with parents

Leadership Time & Support

We recognise that strong leadership requires time and space.

As part of this role, you will receive:

Protected time out of ratio to:
Plan and organise your unit
Complete leadership responsibilities
Support staff development
Dedicated time to:
Mentor and coach your team
Review practice and standards
Contribute to continuous improvement

You will be supported by an experienced management team and will not be expected to manage these responsibilities alone.

What Makes This Role Different

At Rainbow Childcare, we are building a clear structure:

Unit Managers lead units
Senior Practitioners support practice
Management drives quality and development

This means:
You will have real responsibility and ownership
You will be supported—not left to manage alone
You will be part of a team focused on continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

Has strong experience in early years practice
Is confident leading and supporting others
Can maintain high standards in a busy environment
Communicates clearly with both staff and parents
Takes pride in organisation, routines and presentation
Understands safeguarding and their responsibilities fully

Key Skills & Experience

Level 3 qualification in Early Years (minimum)
Strong knowledge of EYFS
Experience working within a nursery setting
Previous experience supporting or leading a team (desirable)

What You’ll Bring

A calm, professional leadership style
The ability to motivate and guide others
Attention to detail and pride in your environment
A commitment to delivering the best outcomes for children

What We Offer

A clear and structured leadership pathway
Ongoing training and development opportunities
Protected leadership time within your role
Support from an experienced management team
A positive and professional working environment
Opportunity to be part of a growing and improving setting

Additional Information

Full-time position
Salary dependent on experience
Enhanced DBS required

Apply Now

If you are ready to step into a leadership role and make a real impact within a nursery setting, we would love to hear from you.

Pay: Up to £30,500.00 per year

Employee discount
