Job Type: Part-Time / Full-Time / Flexible
Nurture Islington's Early Years! It takes a huge amount of heart to work in early years. You are part storyteller, part peacekeeper, and a huge source of comfort for children getting used to being away from home. We need genuinely warm, enthusiastic people who don't mind a bit of mess, who love cheering on a baby taking their first wobbly steps, and who know exactly how to turn a grumpy morning drop-off into a great day.
Right now, we are supporting a wonderful mix of caring, community-focused nurseries dotted across Islington and the N1 area. They are looking for nurturing Early Years Practitioners and Assistants to step in and become a friendly, reliable face for the children on a flexible supply basis.
Giving so much emotional energy to little ones means you need to protect your own well-being. Our supply network is designed to give you that breathing room. You bring your nurturing spirit to the nursery floor, and we will build a working rota that entirely respects your downtime and personal commitments.
Requirements
- You hold a "Full and Relevant" Early Years qualification (such as an NNEB, CACHE, NVQ, or Level 3 Early Years Educator). (Quick reminder: Health & Social Care or Teaching Assistant qualifications do not meet the legal nursery ratios for these specific roles).
- You may not hold a formal early years certificate, but you have wonderful, recent experience working in a nursery setting. You know how to comfort, engage, and safely supervise young children, and you genuinely love doing it.
The Right Nature: A deeply nurturing personality, excellent reliability, and the enthusiasm to get involved in play, storytelling, and daily care routines.
First Aid Readiness: A Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate is fantastic. If you don’t currently hold one, you simply need to be willing to complete the training to ensure our settings remain incredibly safe.
The Perks of Joining Us:
- Reliable Weekly Wages: Your dedication is truly appreciated here. Earn a competitive £12.75 to £14.50 an hour, which we pay directly into your account every Friday without fail.
- Work Locally in N1: Long commutes drain your energy before the day even starts. We will match you with welcoming nursery environments right here in Islington and the surrounding neighborhoods.
- Complete Schedule Freedom: You decide your working hours. Whether you are looking for five days a week, a few regular mornings, or just occasional cover, we work entirely around your availability.
- The £100 Welcome Bonus: Recommend a nurturing childcare professional to us, and we will gift you a £100 bonus once they have worked their first 100 hours.
