Job Type: Part‑Time / Full‑Time / Flexible
Make a Real Difference in Thamesmead's Early Years! It takes real dedication to work in early years. We are looking for people who genuinely love being around children—the kind of practitioners who are just as happy building block towers as they are comforting a toddler who misses home. We have partnered with some fantastic, welcoming nurseries in and around the Thamesmead area. They are looking for reliable, warm‑hearted Early Years Practitioners and Assistants to join their teams on a flexible basis, bringing a positive attitude to the floor every day. You put a lot of heart into what you do, and you deserve a career that respects your personal time. Whether you need hours that fit around your family, your studies, or just want a better work‑life balance, our supply network lets you choose exactly when and where you work.
Requirements Who We Are Looking For:
- Qualified Staff (Level 2 & Level 3): You hold a full and relevant Early Years qualification (such as a Level 3 Early Years Educator, NVQ, CACHE, or NNEB). (Note: Teaching Assistant or Health & Social Care qualifications do not meet the statutory nursery ratios).
- Experienced Unqualified Staff: You might not have the official certificate yet, but you have real, recent experience working in a nursery setting. If you know the daily routine and love the environment, we would love to speak with you.
What you need to bring:
- The Right Attitude: A genuine care for children, reliability, and enthusiasm to join in with daily activities.
- First Aid: Ideally you will have a Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate. If you don’t currently hold one, you just need to be willing to take the training to keep the children safe.
Benefits:
- Great Pay, Paid Weekly: You will earn between £12.75 and £14.50 an hour, and we pay you every Friday without fail.
- Work Close to Home: We focus on finding you great shifts locally in SE28 and the surrounding areas so you aren’t stuck on long commutes.
- Flexible Hours on Your Terms: You are in the driving seat. Want to work Monday to Friday? Great. Only free two mornings a week? That works perfectly too.
- £100 Refer‑a‑Friend Bonus: If you bring a great colleague on board, we’ll give you a £100 bonus once they work their first 100 hours with us.
