About you
You are a Level 2 or above qualified, Nursery Early Years Educator / Nursery Practitioner / Nursery Nurse or similar who enjoys supporting and encouraging the natural curiosity and excitement of young children. In other words, you 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.

What you'll be doing
You'll likely start most of your days with a fully formulated plan.... That will soon get completely derailed though... Pivoting when the circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care!

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 keep attention spans engaged. Of course we work within the EYFS standards, but that doesn't stop you from engaging your creative flair and enthusiasm for learning.

(We can sometimes consider unqualified Educators, as long as they demonstrate the necessary qualities, values and enthusiasm for working within this environment. If you think you've got the right attitude and abilities, submit an application, who knows it might be the best thing you ever did. Nothing ventured nothing gained!)
• Experience as an Early Years Educator (Nursery Nurse/Practitioner) or having worked 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 working together

What you'll get

• £500 Welcome Bonus
• 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
