About Happy Days

Happy Days is growing, and we're looking for caring, reliable and enthusiastic individuals to join our Early Years Supply Team in Truro.

Whether you're qualified, returning to childcare, studying or already experienced in Early Years, this is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience, develop your skills and work flexibly around your lifestyle.

As a Supply Early Years Practitioner, you'll play an important role in creating safe, engaging and nurturing environments where children can learn, grow and thrive.

No two days are the same! You could be supporting our youngest children in the baby room one day and helping preschool children explore, create and learn through play the next.

The Role

As a Supply Early Years Practitioner, you'll support our nursery teams to deliver high-quality care and education, helping ensure children feel safe, happy and supported throughout their day.

You'll contribute to children's learning and development through engaging activities, positive interactions and consistent routines. You'll work alongside experienced colleagues to provide a welcoming environment where every child can flourish, following the EYFS framework and Happy Days' approach to Early Years practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Support children's learning, development and wellbeing in a safe and caring environment.
• Help plan and deliver engaging activities that reflect children's interests and developmental stages.
• Support children across different age groups, from babies to preschool children.
• Follow nursery routines and work in line with the EYFS framework.
• Build positive, professional relationships with children, families and colleagues.
• Help maintain a safe, welcoming and well-organised nursery environment.
• Support children's individual needs and encourage their confidence, independence and curiosity.
• Work collaboratively with nursery teams to ensure consistency and high standards of care.
• Follow safeguarding procedures and promote children's safety and wellbeing at all times.
• Adapt to different nursery settings and support colleagues wherever needed.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for caring, enthusiastic and flexible individuals who are passionate about working with children and helping them thrive.

• Experience working with children in a nursery, childcare, education or similar setting.
• A Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years or Childcare, although this isn't essential.
• A genuine passion for supporting children's learning, development and wellbeing.
• A reliable, flexible and proactive approach to work.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work professionally with colleagues and families.
• A positive, team-focused attitude and willingness to support different nursery teams.
• An understanding of safeguarding and the importance of maintaining a safe environment for children.
• A willingness to learn and develop your Early Years knowledge, with training available where needed.

Whether you're starting your Early Years career, studying towards a qualification or bringing valuable experience to the role, we'd love to hear from you.

We're proud to provide a supportive working environment where our people feel valued and can enjoy greater flexibility while developing their Early Years careers.
