Job description

Based in Armthorpe at Shaw Wood Academy, our newest early years setting is for children from 6 months to 4 years. Willow Grove provides a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow through play-based activities and structured learning experiences.

We’re looking for enthusiastic, creative team players who are willing to educate our children through fun and play. Staff who are ‘big kids’ at heart, are willing to get their hands dirty in the mud kitchen, roll their sleeves up to make sticky buns, dress up as pirates and sail away to distant shores, staff who have no boundaries to their imagination and can support all our children to thrive and succeed.

• Celebrating and rewarding our staff and ensuring their well-being is cared for is at the heart of our settings.
• Treats and our well-being baskets are topped up to get you through your day.
• Enhanced training packages and professional development opportunities
• We invest in our staff, through high quality training and career progression paths.
• Long term service additional holidays per year.
• Pension scheme

• Closed bank holidays and for 1 week at Christmas.
