Volunteer Creche Worker

The Nelson Trust Women’s Centre supports women in a trauma-informed approach, who are experiencing multiple and complex needs. We provide a creche service for children (0-8 years) whilst their mother/carer attends the centre.

Are you passionate about supporting women in a holistic, gender-responsive, trauma-informed way to achieve long-lasting change?

Are you flexible, reliable, and able to take initiative?

We are looking for an experienced creche volunteer to support our Creche Lead, helping deliver and develop our creche service.

You must be confident with lone working. You must be qualified to NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care Learning and Development or equivalent and have a minimum of 1 year post-qualifying experience with 0-3 years. An understanding of a play-based approach to children’s learning and development and a sound knowledge of child development from 0 – 8 years is essential.

You should also have excellent communication skills and the ability to develop effective relationships with colleagues, parents, and external agencies.

The Nelson Trust is committed to safeguarding, and you will be required to undergo an enhanced Children & Adults DBS check prior to starting.

This is an opportunity for new, challenging, and highly rewarding experiences. Our volunteers and staff make a real difference to people’s lives, and in return for your commitment and enthusiasm, we offer a comprehensive training and development programme.

Due to the nature of the work carried out in our Women’s Centres, this role is restricted to female applicants only in accordance with the provisions of the occupational requirement (Equality Act 2010, pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1).
