You will be able to work in your desired location in Heathfield and work around your own commitments. When the nurseries and schools are open we are inundated with work and will be able to provide you with as much or as little as you need.
Your new role
As nursery and school bank staff you will be expected to support settings, working where required; supporting the other nursery and school staff, helping set up and tidy the room, playing with the children and ensuring the environment is safe at all times. You won't be expected to complete any learning diaries, so this is a great opportunity to gain confidence and learn new skills. The role as a temporary practitioner means you have complete flexibility over the days you would like to work week by week.
What you'll need to succeed
We are looking for ideally level 2 or level 3 qualified teaching assistants/early years practitioners. However, we are open to unqualified candidates that have recent relevant experience that can be referenced. You will need to be reliable, adaptable and enthusiastic; the nurseries that you are placed in will expect you to be hands-on and willing to help out in the setting.
What you'll get in return
You will receive a competitive hourly salary including holiday pay. You will receive the support you require to settle into the nursery routine. You will have set hours for a fixed period of time, enabling you to plan your commitments or childcare where needed. This is a fantastic opportunity to work around your own schedule in your desired location while gaining experience and confidence about working with children.
