About the Role
Teach Now is seeking a Level 3 Early Years Practitioner to join a caring nursery team within a primary school in Haringey, supporting children aged two as they develop confidence, communication and independence. Your day will centre on play-based learning, reassuring routines and the important milestones that shape early development. You will support children during meals, feeding, personal care, nappy changing and naps, while encouraging curiosity, social interaction and early friendships. You will join an established team with experienced practitioners, shared room leadership and planning already in place.

This role suits someone who is confident working with two‑year-olds, can respond calmly to changing needs and enjoys being part of a collaborative early years team. There is also potential for a permanent position, subject to mutual agreement.
Key Responsibilities

- Contribute ideas and provide additional support where needed as the nursery provision develops.
Requirements
- A recognised Level 3 Early Years or childcare qualification.
- Practical experience supporting two-year-olds in a nursery or early years setting.
- Confidence providing personal care, including nappy changing and hygiene support.
- Good knowledge of safeguarding and early years practice.
- A flexible, reliable and team-focused approach.
- The right to work in the UK and willingness to complete an enhanced DBS and other safeguarding checks.
- Availability to work both early and late shifts across the working week where required.
What the School Offers
