TeacherActive is looking for a passionate and dedicated Nursery Practitioner to join a welcoming nursery setting in Bishops Stortford. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a long-term or permanent position within early years, with the chance to gain experience across different rooms before being allocated a room to work in longer term.

As a Nursery Practitioner, you will initially work across all rooms within the nursery, supporting children at different stages of their early years development. This will give you the opportunity to build relationships with children and staff, gain experience across different age groups and become familiar with the setting before being allocated a room for the longer term.

However, extensive experience is not essential. If you have the relevant qualification, a positive attitude and a genuine interest in working with children, we would be happy to hear from you.

We are looking for someone who is reliable, enthusiastic, caring and keen to develop their skills within a nursery environment.

• £16.05 per hour.
• Long-term or permanent employment opportunity.
• On-site parking.
• Free breakfast and lunch provided.
• The opportunity to gain experience across all nursery rooms.
• The chance to settle into a designated room for the longer term.
• A supportive environment to develop your early years career.

• Guaranteed Payment Scheme (Terms and Conditions apply).
• CPD courses and certificates through the My-Progression channel.
• Market-leading rates of pay.
