Nursery Assistant Job

Enthusiastic practitioner required for flexible, long-term nursery work in the north Bristol area.

Your new nursery

You will be working as a Nursery Assistant in a lovely, family run nursery in the north Bristol area. You would be working with children from aged 3 months to 5 years. The nursery is seeking workers on a long-term basis, with opportunities to develop as a Nursery Assistant within this child-led, free-flow nursery environment. You will have to be happy to engage with the children in dress-up and messy play, as well as have a willingness to engage with loose object work.

Your new role

In this nursery assistant job, you will be joining a creative team of nursery workers dedicated to helping children to develop and explore the world around them. You will be expected to pitch in where required, whether that's creating creative learning activities in mud kitchen and forest school settings, helping to set up and tidy the room, or supporting the other staff, as well as cultivating a safe and engaging environment for the children.

What you'll need to succeed

We are open to working with any passionate and enthusiastic nursery assistants with recent, relevant experiences that can be referenced. Level 2 and 3 qualifications would be a bonus but are not a requirement as we are open to unqualified nursery workers, too. A good knowledge of EYFS would be desirable, and you will have to be a good communicator with strong interpersonal skills. We would also be keen to hear from nursery assistants with Makaton experience. You will need to be reliable, motivated, and dedicated, and the nursery will expect you to be hands on and always willing to help.

What you'll get in return

You will receive a competitive hourly salary including holiday pay. You will receive continuous training throughout your role, and the support you require to settle into the nursery's routine. This is a fantastic opportunity to work around your schedule with the school's flexible hours, and you will have access to Hays' free professional development training, and the option to pay into the pension scheme.
