Job description

A Colchester based primary school are looking to appoint a nursery nurse to join the schools growing EYFS team. This is a full time position (Monday – Friday) working 08:30 – 15:30 term time only.
The role of a Nursery Nurse
Nursery nurses provide care for children up to seven years old. They assist in many aspects of their daily lives, through social, emotional, educational and practical interaction, nurturing and guidance. Helping to oversee, maintain and organise a clean, tidy, child-friendly environment, nursery nurses supervise activities, such as messy play, crafts, cooking, reading and outdoor/physical pursuits.
And because parents may feel like they’re missing out on their young child’s development, nursery nurses also plan, observe and keep records that inform parents and carers about their child’s day.
Please apply if:
- You are passionate about supporting children, especially those in the Early Years Department
- Good written and spoken English
- NVQ Qualified
- Degree qualified or teaching assistant qualification
- At least 3 months classroom based experience
- Able to use own initiative and flexible can-do attitude

- You will be rewarded for your efforts with competitive and fair rates of pay ranging from GBP300 - GBP450 per week, paid via PAYE
- Online timesheet approval for Schools, meaning no paper timesheets!
- SMS and E-Mail booking confirmations
- Access to our exclusive CPD Academy, with courses such as Child Psychology and Autism Awareness available online
- Recommend a Friend bonus scheme with GBP50 for every successful application
All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see teachingpersonnel.com/faqs for details.
