  • Start Date: September 2026

  • Contract Type: Full‑time, with temp‑to‑perm pathways available

  • Pay Rate: From £13.96 per hour

Requirements

  • Hold an enhanced child‑barred list DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to apply)

  • Provide professional references covering the past 24 months, ideally involving work with children or vulnerable individuals

  • Hold a Level 2/3 qualification in childcare, education, or a related field (or have relevant experience)

What We Offer
  • Free accredited CPD, including safeguarding, behaviour management, and de‑escalation
