Level 3 Nursery Practitioner | SE18 & Lewisham | Up to £14.50ph
Are you a newly qualified Level 3 practitioner eager to gain hands‑on experience, or perhaps an experienced educator looking to return to childcare after a career break?
We are actively recruiting passionate, Level 3 Qualified Early Years Practitioners to join some incredibly supportive and friendly nurseries in the Lewisham and SE18 areas (including Woolwich, Plumstead, and nearby). We know that stepping into your first role or returning to work after time away can feel daunting, which is why we partner with settings that prioritize mentorship, patience, and a truly welcoming team environment.
Whether you need flexible hours to balance family life, or a setting that will gently support you as you build your confidence as a newly qualified educator, we have the perfect space for you to shine.
The Caring Practitioner We Need:
We are looking for warm, approachable educators who want to make a real difference in the early years. You do not need years of unbroken experience—just a great attitude, your Level 3 qualification, and a love for working with children!
What you will be doing:
Helping to create a safe, joyful, and stimulating environment where children feel secure and ready to learn.
Planning and delivering engaging, age‑appropriate activities based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Supporting children through their daily routines, including mealtimes, outdoor play, and rest periods.
Building lovely, open relationships with parents and carers, sharing updates on their child's daily adventures.
Working closely with a friendly team who will be there to guide, support, and collaborate with you every step of the way.
Why You Will Love Working With Us:
We believe in making the return to work or the start of your career as smooth and rewarding as possible. By joining our network in Lewisham and SE18, you can expect:
Great Pay: Up to £14.50 per hour for 12‑hour PFA holders.
Ultimate Flexibility: Options to suit your lifestyle—perfect for parents returning to work or those needing a balanced schedule.
A Gentle Return: Supportive environments that understand you might need a little time to refresh your EYFS knowledge or gain practical confidence.
Career Growth: Opportunities to learn from experienced peers and build a beautiful career in early years education.
We are an equal opportunity employer and recruit based on merit. To support our recruitment process, we may use AI‑assisted tools for tasks such as application screening and reference checks to manage applications efficiently; however, all hiring decisions are made directly by our team.
