Early Years Practitioner Opportunities - Flexible Hours in East Keswick & Leeds

Veritas Education is working in partnership with a well‑established, highly regarded nursery in the East Keswick and Leeds area, offering flexible opportunities to suit your availability ‑ whether that's part‑time, full‑time, or occasional shifts. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a long‑standing nursery with a strong reputation for quality care and staff support.

Known for its welcoming atmosphere and experienced team, the setting provides a stable, positive environment where practitioners feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow in their roles. The nursery offers a rich, nurturing environment that promotes curiosity, confidence, and independence in children. With a strong focus on outdoor learning, creativity, and wellbeing, children are encouraged to explore and learn through play, supported by engaging activities and a thoughtfully structured day.

In this role, you'll contribute to a safe, stimulating, and caring environment where children can thrive. Your day may involve supporting outdoor exploration, encouraging imaginative play, or working alongside a passionate team to create meaningful learning experiences. This opportunity is ideal for qualified practitioners as well as those with hands‑on childcare experience seeking flexibility. It's also perfect for anyone returning to early years or looking to remain active in the sector without committing to fixed hours.

What we’re looking for:

• Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification, or relevant childcare experience
• A warm, patient, and enthusiastic approach
• Confidence supporting outdoor and play‑based learning
• Strong communication skills and a team‑focused attitude
• A genuine passion for supporting children's development and wellbeing
• Basic safeguarding knowledge (or willingness to learn)

• Flexible working patterns – part‑time, full‑time, or ad hoc shifts
• A role that works around your availability
• Competitive rates of pay
• A supportive, experienced, and welcoming team
• The chance to work in a well‑established nursery with an excellent reputation
• A positive working environment that values staff wellbeing and development
