Summary
(Y)Our Opportunity
We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and proactive Nursery Nurse with a recognised Level 3 qualification in Early Years or equivalent, to join our supportive and collaborative team. You will encourage our children to be unique, foster their curiosity and support them on a journey of discovery enabling them to be inquisitive and confident learners.

You will be extremely well supported, working alongside a committed team of practitioners and teachers.

* Passionate about education and has the ability to plan for children's development
* Able to observe and plan activities for children in a small group
* Able to write accurate and effective assessments, which reflect the needs, interests and stages of development of the child
As a Nursery Nurse we know you’re going to do great things, investing in our employees' wellbeing and career development is a priority for us. We can offer you:
* A comprehensive induction programme
* Excellent ongoing CPD
* Progression: If career development is your thing, we offer opportunities into teaching through our TKAT SCITT programme
* Friendly and supportive environment, where everyone is committed to a work life balance
* The opportunity to be part of exciting development and innovative change
* Access to trust resources and materials
* Cycle to work scheme
