We value the dedication and expertise of our Level 3 Practitioners. To show our appreciation for their (and hopefully your) hard work and commitment, we're excited to offer a £400 Qualification Recognition Bonus to all of our Level 3 Practitioners across all our Nurseries.

This can include outings to the post office, shops, or the park to enhance the children's physical development. To ensure a seamless transition, training will be provided during the initial few weeks.

Responsibilities but not limited to:

• Deliver learning experiences and planned activities for a key group that provides outstanding opportunities for the children
• Work within a team to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the children
