Looking to step back from long hours—but still want to make a real difference?

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Level 3 Childcare Practitioner to support young learners in a school setting. This role is ideal for someone who wants a better work-life balance while continuing to have a meaningful impact on children’s early development.

You’ll play a key role in supporting pupils in Early Years, particularly those preparing to transition into Reception in September 2026. Whether working within the classroom or delivering targeted 1:1 interventions, your support will help build confidence, independence, and a love for learning.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Assisting children as they prepare for the transition into Reception
• Providing 1:1 support for pupils who require additional guidance
• Creating a positive, engaging, and nurturing learning atmosphere
• Working collaboratively with teachers and school staff

What We’re Looking For:

• Level 3 qualification in Childcare or Early Years
• Hands-on experience working with children in an Early Years setting
• A current DBS on the Update Service
• Strong, recent professional references
• A proactive, caring, and enthusiastic attitude
• A genuine passion for supporting young learners

Why This Role?

• Reduced working hours (average 6.5-hour days)
• Competitive daily rate (£90–£94)
• Opportunity to make a lasting impact without full-time demands
• Flexible responsibilities—classroom support or 1:1 intervention
• Rewarding work supporting a key developmental stage

If you're ready to bring your experience, energy, and compassion into a role that truly matters—without the burnout of longer hours—we’d love to hear from you.
