Qualified Early Years Educator
Location: Raised in Bristol at the Greenway Centre (BS10)
Salary: £27,206.40 per annum FTE | £13.08 per hour
Contract: Part time 30 hours a week over 3 days

Join the team at Raised in Bristol – where early years education meets community impact. We’re a not-for-personal-profit social enterprise with a clear mission: to provide the very best early years education while investing in the communities we serve. We’re a passionate bunch at Raised In! We love what we do, and we’re committed to helping the youngest children reach their full potential in friendly, nurturing, and engaging home‑from‑home environments. We’re building something special and we’d love you to be part of it.

At Raised In our approach centres on child‑led learning through play, with a thoughtfully designed curriculum that nurtures curiosity and supports each child’s unique interests. From the baby room through to preschool, we focus on every stage of development, helping children grow in confidence and preparing them for their exciting next steps towards school.

Our Greenway nursery offers a more relaxed feel than larger settings, with just 62 places. It’s housed in a beautifully refurbished old school building designed to inspire young minds, with large windows, high ceilings, and a light, welcoming atmosphere. The garden runs the full length of the nursery and looks out over Greenway Playing Field. Just beyond that lies Badocks Wood, where we regularly take children to explore and connect with nature. Located at the Greenway Centre in Southmead, this nursery is a short drive from Southmead Hospital and the local areas of Filton, Patchway, Westbury‑on‑Trym, Henleaze and Horfield. There is free parking on site in the community centre car park, and the area is also served by local bus routes running all across Bristol.

Paid one hour lunch break
50% off for your child in our nurseries

You’re the kind of person who lights up around children and believes in the power of play to spark learning. You bring energy, curiosity and a can‑do attitude to your work, and you’re always up for trying new things. You care deeply about inclusion, teamwork and making a difference, not just in the nursery, but in the wider community too. You’re reflective, open to feedback, and keen to grow. If you’re passionate about giving children the best start in life and want to be part of a team that’s rethinking how Early Years education is done, we’d love to hear from you.

Note: The Level 3 Award in Early Years Education does not meet the DfE’s criteria for a “full and relevant” Level 3 qualification for staffing ratios in early years settings.
