Early Years Practitioner Apprentice

Would you love the opportunity to work for an award winning nursery group, to be immersed in the magic of children's play...create an enchanting potion from petals and water...make a broomstick come to life from a branch of a tree or a den from an array of materials…then this is the job for you!!!!

Cliffe House is a family run business with our staff well-being at the heart of our success. We pride ourselves in helping staff excel in their childcare journey with us and this year we celebrate 25 years since we first started this amazing journey providing a home from home for lifelong learning.

We are looking for an inspirational, bubbly, motivated and passionate Early Years Practitioner Apprentice to join our Baildon nursery. We are looking for the right role model who really wants to excel in an Early Years career with a really driven ‘can do’ attitude.

The position is full time and all year round; you will earn as you learn whilst learning alongside your role with our in-house Early Years educator assessor. You will be paid for 36 hours per week, 30 of which will be in the nursery setting and 6 hours study time.

As a company we pride ourselves on the competitive salaries and benefits package that we offer our staff members. This includes a 6 month induction and support programme when you first start in a role with lots of great promotion prospects across our eight Yorkshire based settings. Further examples of our benefit packages are:

- A great holiday allowance - 21 days holiday plus bank holidays as well as a loyalty bonus scheme and your birthday off every year!

- Annual salary reviews – a chance to look back over your achievements throughout the year.

- Annual Christmas party and awards evening – a wonderful night for all our teams to let their hair down.

- Dress down days – As a staff team it’s nice to be able to have a regular dress down day at nursery where you can come to work in something comfy!

- Ongoing training and development through our in-house training academy which includes paediatric first aid and your own login to our online training provider.

- Your own nursery uniform provided for you.

- Christmas Closure – we close for a week between Christmas and New Year so all our teams can enjoy the festive period with their families.

- Refer a friend scheme.

- Discounted childcare and your child can attend the setting you work at if you wish.
