Early Years Practitioner - Alvechurch, United Kingdom - Alvechurch and Bordesley Nursery School

Description

Do you want to feel part of a 'work family'?
Well, look no further.

We are a small team, who support each other and definitely have a sense of humour, which can be essential, especially in this current climate.

Do you struggle to juggle work and home life?
Our lives outside of nursery school are the most important things to us. We work together to be flexible.

Family meal out? Late night out seeing your favourite band? You've managed to get a Doctor's appointment? We all do our best to be flexible to allow each other to have time off or swap their shifts.

We are Early Years practitioners who want the best for all children, including our staff's children, so if there is an assembly or Christmas nativity to attend, we will ensure that happens where possible.

There is no expectation for you to do any work outside nursery school opening hours. However, there may be the odd training course, such as, first aid, or a family open day to attend. This will, of course, be paid for.


Do you want hands-on management?

The owners are active managers and practitioners within the setting and listen to the needs of the children and staff.

We aren't separated into different rooms; therefore, we all work together and muck in.


Are you looking to get out of four walls?

We are predominately an outdoor setting; and the benefits to staff's mind, body and soul being in nature is unmeasurable, but we do venture inside when the temperatures drop.

We are located at Alvechurch train station, so perfect for anyone commuting to work using the train; we are situated on the Redditch to Birmingham line.

Do you dream of being spontaneous in your work with children?

We don't dream, we are Whether it be a walk down to canal to see the ducks, a trip to the local cafe, baking a massive chocolate, splashing in a paddling pool or creating a messy art masterpiece with our whole bodies, let's do it We don't have a plan to hold us back.

Nothing is off limits (well within reason)


Are you sick of pointless paperwork?
Us too We only do the essential Our time is most valuable making a mud cake, creating a story through the animals we meet or simply just cuddling up with a good book
