Level 3 Early Years Educator - Day Nursery in Lincoln, Lincolnshire

Hours: Casual, variable hours, Monday-Friday, Full Time and Part Time

Salary: £12.71ph - £13.30ph. Salary will depend on qualifications and experience.

Our nursery is thoughtfully designed to support every stage of development. From the calming Tree Room to the exciting Cottage and Construction areas, our indoor spaces are crafted to spark creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. Outdoors, each age group enjoys their own dedicated area, encouraging exploration in the fresh air. This helps children build the confidence and resilience that will set them up for success later in life.

You’ll be helping to provide cover for the children as and when needed. This could be for periods of holiday, sickness, or even vacancy gaps. Sometimes you'll support for a full day, or it may just be a morning or afternoon session. Pivoting when the circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care!

Teaching young children allows for hands-on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. It’s important to keep things fresh and try new activities to keep attention spans engaged. Of course, we work within the EYFS standards, but that doesn't stop you from engaging your creative flair and enthusiasm for learning.

Ideally, you should hold a Level 2 or above qualification as an Early Years Educator / Practitioner / Nursery Nurse or similar and be looking for a role that allows you flexibility of working shifts around your other commitments. You enjoy supporting and encouraging the natural curiosity and excitement of young children and were born to teach and shape the future of our younger generations.

You have a natural, nurturing openness, a warm and positive outlook, and you care about learning and education standards in the UK. We can sometimes consider unqualified Educators, so if you can demonstrate the necessary values and enthusiasm for working within this environment, submit an application. Experience as an Early Years Educator (Nursery Nurse/Practitioner) or having worked with children under the age of 5 is advantageous.
