Thrive Education is looking for enthusiastic Early Years Practitioners to support some of the fantastic nurseries and pre-schools we work with across Cheltenham.

You don't need to hold a Level 2 or Level 3 childcare qualification for this role.

What we are looking for is people who already have experience working with children, whether that's within a nursery, school, after-school club, holiday club, SEN setting or another child-focused environment.

If you enjoy working with children and would like the opportunity to gain more experience within Early Years, this could be a great next step.

What we're looking for

• Previous experience working with children
• Nursery or pre-school experience would be a bonus, but isn't essential
• A genuine interest in working within Early Years
• A caring, patient and enthusiastic approach
• Confidence getting involved with activities and play
• Good communication and teamwork
• Someone reliable who is happy to get stuck in and support wherever needed

Your previous experience could include:

• Nurseries or pre-schools
• Primary schools
• Teaching Assistant work
• Breakfast or after-school clubs
• Holiday clubs
• Sports coaching
• SEN support
• Youth work
• Other professional childcare experience

Why work with Thrive?

Working on supply is a great opportunity to experience different Early Years settings, build your confidence and develop your knowledge.

With Thrive, you'll have:

• Flexible working days to fit around you
• Opportunities across Cheltenham and surrounding areas
• Term-time work available
• Day-to-day, short-term and long-term placements
• The chance to gain valuable nursery and pre-school experience
• Experience working with different ages within Early Years
• Regular check-ins throughout your placements
• Support from Josh, our dedicated Early Years Consultant

We're not looking to simply place you somewhere and leave you to it. We want to understand your previous experience, what you're comfortable with and the type of settings you'd like to work in.
