Summary
More2Kidbrooke Nursery Kidbrooke
Kidbrooke, London SE3 9NJ
Full Time – 4 Days Per Week
More2Kidbrooke is looking for enthusiastic and reliable individuals to join our nursery team as Unqualified Nursery Staff, working towards a Level 3 Early Years qualification.
More2Kidbrooke is a new, purpose-built nursery setting, located just a 3-minute walk from Kidbrooke Railway Station, and is part of a wider Ofsted Outstanding nursery group.
Applicants must have previous experience working in a similar field, such as childcare, health & social care, schools, care settings, hospitality, customer service or other people-focused environments, and be willing to begin a Level 3 Early Years pathway alongside employment.
This is not a Level 2 route — candidates must be academically capable of completing a Level 3 qualification alongside full-time work. The apprenticeship/pathway takes a minimum of 12 months to complete.
We would also like to hear from candidates who already hold a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care and are looking to begin a career in Early Years.
Important:
We are unable to sponsor candidates for UK work visas. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.
Salary
• £8.25 per hour for school leaver apprentices
• £12.81 per hour for candidates with previous work experience and transferable skills
What We’re Looking For
• Passion for working with children
• Previous experience in a similar role or sector
• Good communication and written English
• Reliable, professional and willing to learn
• Ability to complete Level 3 coursework and professional documentation
• Positive attitude and strong work ethic
• Minimum Level 2 Functional Skills in English (or equivalent qualification)
• GCSE Maths Grade 4/C or above is desirable
Location Requirement
Due to the importance of punctuality and reliability, candidates should ideally live within a one-hour commute of SE3 9NJ.
Career Progression
Early years is a stable sector with genuine long-term career opportunities. Following completion of Level 3, progression may include:
• Senior Practitioner roles
• Room Leader positions
• Management pathways
• Degree apprenticeships for the right candidates
Full training, mentoring and support provided.
Safeguarding & Safer Recruitment
More2Kidbrooke is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment.
Successful applicants will be subject to:
• Enhanced DBS check
• Online/social media checks as part of safer recruitment
• References from previous employers
• Right to work checks
• Verification of qualifications and employment history
Any gaps in employment history must be explained. Candidates must demonstrate professionalism, good judgement and an understanding of safeguarding responsibilities when working with children.
