• Support children's personal care routines, including feeding, nappy changing, and supporting toilet training, always with sensitivity and respect for the child.
• Work collaboratively as part of a team to maintain a clean, safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment, contributing to daily nursery operations and upholding all safeguarding and health & safety policies.

What We're Looking For

• A minimum of a Level 2 qualification in Childcare (or equivalent) is highly desirable; however, candidates with significant proven experience as a Nursery Worker or Nursery Assistant will be strongly considered.
• A genuine passion for working with young children, demonstrated through a patient, nurturing, and enthusiastic approach to early years care and education.
• A solid understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and a firm commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
