Job description

Qualified Early Years Educators – Royston & Surrounding Areas

Are you a Qualified Early Years Practitioner or Nursery Teacher looking to reclaim your work‑life balance? Whether you thrive on the complete flexibility of day‑to‑day supply or prefer the consistency of a long‑term placement, we have fantastic opportunities tailored to your lifestyle.

We are partnering with a variety of excellent nursery schools, preschools, and day nurseries throughout Royston and surrounding areas, including Bassingbourn, Melbourn & Shepreth. We are looking for passionate, qualified professionals to support these vibrant early years communities.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner looking to step away from the pressures of full‑time room leadership, or a newly qualified educator eager to build confidence across different settings, we can help you find your perfect balance.

Find Your Ideal Way of Working

Day‑to‑Day Cover: Take total ownership of your diary. You choose when and where you work. Step into the setting to deliver engaging activities, enjoy the interactions with the children, and leave the planning and paperwork behind at the end of the day.

Long‑Term Opportunities: If you prefer stability, we have fixed‑term roles spanning a term or a full academic year (covering maternity, sickness, or interim gaps). It's the perfect way to truly embed yourself within a local nursery team and see your key children progress.

What We Look For

• EYFS Qualifications: CACHE Level 2/3, NVQ Level 2/3 in Early Years/Childcare, Foundation Degree, or Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS / QTS).
• A deep understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.
• Nurturing behaviour‑management skills and the ability to inspire young learners through play‑based learning.
• An adaptable, proactive approach, ready to hit the ground running in new early years environments.
• A valid Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or a willingness to complete one).

Benefits of Working With Us

• Competitive rates of pay, processed weekly and reflective of your experience level.
• A dedicated local consultant with deep knowledge of the South Cambridgeshire and North Hertfordshire education sectors.
• A completely transparent service that works strictly around your personal availability.
• The chance to explore different local settings, which frequently opens doors to permanent positions if that is your ultimate goal.

Please forward your CV and a brief introduction. We will get in touch for a friendly, informal chat about our active roles in the Bassingbourn, Shepreth and Melbourn areas.

We are strictly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All candidates will be required to undergo comprehensive vetting, reference checks, and an enhanced DBS disclosure.
