Are you a confident early years practitioner with nursery leadership experience? A small, supportive nursery within a central Birmingham primary school is looking for a qualified Nursery Lead Practitioner to join their team this September.

This warm and well-established nursery provides a nurturing start for young learners and is part of a larger school known for its inclusive ethos and strong community ties. You'll lead a small team, shaping daily routines and learning experiences that give children the best possible start.

What you'll be doing:

- Previous nursery experience, ideally in a school-based setting
- Strong leadership skills and a nurturing approach
- Confidence in EYFS curriculum and safeguarding procedures

Why Work with Long Term Futures?
- Long-term, stable work with the potential for a permanent role.
- No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
- A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
- Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
- Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.

Next Steps - Our 4-Step Process
- Apply - Submit your CV via the application page.
- Initial Call - Our team will discuss your experience and preferences.
- Trial Day - Experience the school before making a decision.
- Start Work - If the school is the right fit, you're ready to begin.

All applicants will need a valid DBS and two references to be considered for a trial day.
