We are Tommies Childcare. Since 1998, we have provided exciting and memorable early years experiences for children aged 0 - 5 years.

We are looking for a Lunchtime Assistant who can demonstrate their flexibility and creativity in their approach to supporting children at mealtimes and assisting our Early Years Practitioners.

What do we look for?

When you work at Tommies, you'll be doing one of the most important jobs in the world: nurturing, protecting and helping children grow into well-balanced, happy and self-assured adults.

Practitioners and educators at Tommies understand the value of following the child's lead and placing their own interests at the heart of everything they do.

You'll be supporting us at a key part of the day when children sit down to enjoy their nutritious meals. We'll need you to be on-hand to ensure that all children's dietary requirements are adhered to and that mealtimes are a positive learning experience for the children in our care.

What we can do for you

You bring the enthusiasm and skills to succeed, and we'll offer you a place in an organisation that truly values you and the work you do.

You'll have the opportunity to make your voice heard through the annual 'b-Heard' survey. This independent employee engagement survey gives you the platform to tell us what it's like to be a valued member of the Tommies team.

Every year since 2019, the results of our surveys have placed us in the official Best Companies to Work For lists. That's because, for us, phrases like 'we support employee wellbeing and staff welfare' aren't just soundbites. They are core principles here at Tommies.

An extraordinary place to work, with extraordinary benefits

As well as a competitive salary, you'll receive an exceptional benefits package. All Tommies team members receive a minimum of:

• 30% childcare discount (increasing to 40% for Deputy Managers, and 50% for Nursery Managers)
• 10% friends & family childcare discount
• Special rewards for Good and Outstanding Ofsted gradings
• £ employee referral scheme
• An annual awards ceremony, and
• plenty of training and development opportunities
