Nursery Practitioner

Nursery Practitioners in St Albans WE NEED YOU!
Would you like a job where you get paid to play games, have daily adventures in the garden and just have fun?
If you can sing badly, act appallingly, eat endless mud pies and drink poorly made cups of tea we would love to hear from you.
We want the children’s day to be filled with fun activities and laughter, we believe the only way to achieve this is for our staff to be doing the same. One minute you will be having messy play indoors, possible a game of sleeping lions and then you could be outside in the garden on a minibeast discovery.
We are working with a number of nurseries across St Albans who are looking for practitioners to support them to cover sickness and other absences.
This type of role is ideal for someone who is looking for a better work/life balance
The ideal candidate will:

• Hold a minimum Level 2 Early Years qualification.

What we are looking for:
• Real passion for education and learning.
• Demonstrate the ability to cultivate positive relationships with pupils, parents, carers, and colleagues
• Adaptable and reliable.
• Be able to use your own initiative to work as part of a team
• Have experience of the UK curriculum; minimum 6 months.
