Job description

RAFAKidz Cranwell Casual Early Years Practitioners

Casual Early Years Practitioners

** Award Winning Nursery – Nursery of the Year at 2024 Nursery World Awards **

Just like our children, our waiting lists are growing! In each of our 16 settings we create experiences that are special, unique and child focused. Our staff are specially selected for their loving and caring nature, as well as their expertise. The needs of military families are unique, and at RAFAKidz we take extra care to make sure those needs are met.

For every child that comes through the doors of RAFAKidz, no matter their ability, background or circumstances, you could provide experiences and opportunities that will help them be confident and reach their potential.

What makes us different

By joining us as part of our RAFAKidz family, we make a commitment to your ongoing development and future career opportunities. (Please read our staff testimonials on our website!) We ask that you bring a positive, caring and enthusiastic attitude and in return we will give you a great induction experience, training and development opportunities, and you’ll be learning on the job from amazing colleagues! You’ll be the first to hear of any permanent roles which suit your skills and experience should you be looking for something more permanent in the future.

About the role

Whilst previous experience within a childcare setting is desirable, it is not essential. We are looking for Casual Early Years Practitioners who have a genuine love of children, warmth, patience and a great sense of humour! A typical day in the role will include (depending on your experience):

• Being hands on and creative with messy and outdoor play activities
• Helping with meals and snack times
• Keeping records on children’s progress and daily activities and adventures
• Maintaining highest standards of safety, cleanliness and hygiene
• Meet and greet families and build great relationships
• Be willing to learn from colleagues to understand EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage)

This post requires a satisfactory, enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check on appointment and every three years thereafter. As part of our inclusive culture, we encourage applications across all cultural backgrounds, genders and abilities.
