We require an enthusiastic Qualified Nursery Education worker to work at our Popham Rd Nursery site to assist the provision of high quality childcare and education in order to support all children to reach their full potential.

The successful post holder will work all year round on a rotating shift pattern.

Through hands-on practice under the direction of the lead practitioner and senior workers, contribute to the development and maintenance of developmentally appropriate, child-centred, play-based provision for young children which provides the nurturing environment needed to promote children's emotional stability, independence, autonomy and creativity.

Contribute and assist in fostering positive relationships and close working links with the range of professionals in the children's centre in order to promote access to wider integrated services for all families and children and support a multi-disciplinary team around the child and family approach.

This may include completing and using common assessment frameworks (CAF) and participating in Team around the Child (TAC) meetings where appropriate, with the support of senior practitioners.
