Summary
Are you an Early Years professional who feels undervalued and overworked?
At our agency, we believe that the best practitioners deserve the best pay. We are currently looking for high-calibre Level 2, Level 3, and experienced Unqualified Practitioners to support our partner nurseries across Leeds. Whether you prefer the energy of a city-centre setting (LS1) or the community feel of North Leeds (LS17), we provide the flexibility to work where you want, when you want.
The Role & Your Impact:
As a Specialist Supply Practitioner, you aren't just "filling a gap." You are providing essential support to ensure that children in Leeds receive consistent, high-quality care. Your day will involve:
Leading creative EYFS-based activities (messy play, sensory sessions, and outdoor learning).
Acting as a positive role model and assisting with daily routines, including meal times and personal care.
Maintaining a safe, hygienic, and "enabling" environment for children aged 0-5.
Our Tiered Pay Structure:
Level 3+ Qualified: £13.00 per hour
Level 2 Qualified: £12.50 per hour
Experienced Unqualified: £12.25 per hour
The "Deal Breakers" (Requirements):
Experience: A minimum of 3 months recent experience specifically within a UK Private Day Nursery (PVI).
Availability: You must be able to commit to at least 8 hours (one full day) per week and be reachable for our 7:00 AM emergency cover calls.
Compliance: An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process one immediately) and two professional childcare references.
Skills: A solid working understanding of the EYFS and a valid Safeguarding/First Aid certificate (training can be provided).
