Nursery Practitioner unqualified

Unqualified Nursery Practitioner Job

More2Childcare has a fantastic full-time nursery practitioner job in Greenwich (SE10 9EQ) at our nursery near Maze Hill train station. You do not need an early years qualification.  The vacancy is in the pre-school room, so working with 3 and 4 year olds.  Ideally you will have previous childcare experience or have worked with children.  We are keen to train the right person to a level 2 or 3 qualification. 

We are a little different to an average nursery – we work closely with the community and also run a monthly parents group.  Our curriculum focuses on sports, languages and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths).  Parents join our membership scheme and we have just been awarded an accreditation to our commitment to early years practice.

Our building is in the heart of East Greenwich – it was a school in Victorian times so has lovely big windows, a spacious feel and large rooms and gardens.  We aren’t far from the river and Greenwich park so perfect for lunchtime walks and alfresco lunches by the bustling cafes.  Or if you want to wander to Greenwich Park or historic Greenwich it’s all within walking distance.

We have an open culture where staff input is encouraged, where individuals are valued and we invest in you with good benefits and a learning and development plan. We reward loyalty, good attendance and performance. We have a star of the month reward plan, invite staff to social events each year paid for by the nursery and have a week at the nursery each summer dedicated to training (no children attend during this week).  Depending on profits there is an annual Christmas bonus.  The staff team are very friendly and supportive.  Some have worked for us since we opened.

• After a period of training, to act as a key worker and provide care for a small group of children.
• With your knowledge of EYFS help with planning of daily activities and provide suitable play and learning opportunities

• To be responsible for monitoring children’s progress and sharing information about their development with their parents and/or carer’s.

Benefits and working hours

• Up to 36 days holiday per annum

Hours: 8AM to 6PM four days a week (these are full time hours, compressed into 4 days). We do not have any term-time only positions.

All successful applicants will have an enhanced DBS check carried out, must join the DBS update service and be able to supply two suitable references that confirm suitability to work and safeguard children. Failure to disclose any criminal convictions, allegations, police interviews or anything else relevant will result in instant dismissal/applicant disqualification.
