Job description

Ready to further your Childcare career? Are you the person our settings are seeking?

Bright Kids was established in 1999 and has since been delivering high quality childcare by promoting learning through stimulating, creative play activities.

Due to our continuing growth we are currently in search of motivated, happy, enthusiastic individuals who can bring passion, creativity, laughter and learning into our authentic homely environments across the West Midlands to support our wonderful little Einstein’s.

We are seeking candidates who are Level 3 (or above!) qualified in Early Years (newly qualified applicants are welcome) on a permanent basis for our setting in Studley, Warwickshire.

Why work for us

• Training, training and more training – we really do care about your future career and therefore offer comprehensive learning and development plans and readily available access to a range of training courses.
• We care about you and your wellbeing! At Bright Kids, you are not just a number but an individual who is to be celebrated. We offer an excellent health cash plan to support your physical, mental and financial health such as gym discounts, access to counselling and advice lines, a GP doctor line plus discounts on major high street brands with the shopping reward system. Wellbeing champions at all our sites support our staff, signpost to professional help, keep us stocked up on healthy snacks and inform us on company wellbeing activities. We also have 2 trained mental health first aiders for that extra support if needed.
• Flexible working. We are open 51 weeks of the year and offer childcare services from 7.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday but we appreciate the need for flexible hours. We are always open to flexible working arrangements where possible – just ask us!
• Quarterly Team Target awards. The passion and enthusiasm shown by our teams are what keeps us growing and the more children we get to care for, the more rewards our team gets! These rewards include team meals out, shopping vouchers and extra holidays! Woohoo.
• Plus all the usual extras like holidays, pensions, bonuses, uniform, and the ‘nitty gritty’ details.

The perfect Candidate will tick all the boxes below

• Be level 3 qualified (or above) in Early Years – newly qualified candidates are welcome.
• Have a passion for the development of children.
• Be a team player with a commitment to supporting the whole team.
• Have a great sense of creativity to develop an excellent range of activities for our children.
• Be prepared to go home at the end of the day covered in green paint as you have just made the biggest and best alien ever!
• Be prepared to have lots of fun and laugh all day long as well as having a masters degree in hugs.
• And go home with jaw ache every day from smiling too much.
