About The Learning Tree Nursery School
A purpose-built, design-led nursery school full of wonder and imagination in Romford.

About you
You are a Level 2 or above qualified Early Years Educator / Practitioner / Nursery Nurse or similar, looking for a role that allows flexibility in working shifts around your other commitments.

You enjoy supporting and encouraging the natural curiosity and excitement of young children and were born to teach and shape the future of our younger generations.

You have a natural, nurturing openness, a warm and positive outlook, and you care about learning and education standards in the UK.

(We can sometimes consider unqualified Educators, so if you can demonstrate the necessary values and enthusiasm for working within this environment, submit an application. Nothing ventured, nothing gained).

What you'll be doing
You’ll help provide cover for the children as needed. This could be for periods of holiday, sickness, or vacancy gaps. Sometimes you'll support for a full day, or it may just be a morning or afternoon session.

You'll likely start most of your days with a fully formulated plan, but that may change as circumstances require. Pivoting when necessary is a regular occurrence in childcare!

Creativity is key. Teaching young children allows for hands-on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. It’s important to keep things fresh and try new activities to engage attention spans. We work within the EYFS standards, but you can still engage your creative flair and enthusiasm for learning.

What you'll need

• A full and relevant Level 2 or above qualification within early years.
  
• Experience as an Early Years Educator (Nursery Nurse/Practitioner) or working with children under the age of 5 is advantageous.
• Knowledge and understanding of the EYFS is desirable.
• Reflecting the Storal values around responsibility, openness, and teamwork.

What you'll get

• Competitive rates of pay dependent on experience, qualification, and NMW age guidance.
• Performance-related bonuses.
• 50% childcare discount.
• Annual wellness day off.
• Access to retail and other discounts through Perkbox.
• 20 days holidays (plus bank holiday), increasing to 22 days after 2 years service and 25 days after 5 years service.
• Dedicated learning and development support.
• Access to one-to-one confidential counselling sessions through our Employee Assistance Programme.
