Nursery Assistant (Zero Hours)

£14.8 - £17 per hourEstimated

The German School London is part of a long-standing tradition of excellence in the world-wide network of more than 136 German schools abroad, which are accredited and supported by the Federal Republic of Germany. Children from 1 - 6 live and grow together in the Kinderhaus. In two separate, bright and child-friendly buildings, everything is tailored to the needs of our youngest children.

Sudbrook Kinderhaus has been at the heart of the community for nearly 60 years, teaching generations of children from local families and is now part of the German School London. It is based in a Village Hall on a quiet private road which backs on to Richmond Park where we warmly welcome children from the age of 1-5.

DSL Kinderhaus is set within beautiful and spacious grounds by the River Thames and welcomes children from 3-6 years.

The truly exceptional setting supports the wellbeing, creativity and success of both staff and pupils. An own courtyard and an extensive playground with its own little woodland invite children to play in the fresh air and discover the surrounding nature.

Sudbrook Kinderhaus and DSL Kinderhaus share ethos and values and both offer first-class education in an international and friendly learning environment.

Position

We are looking for energetic, reliable and compassionate temporary Nursery Assistant to work in our DSL and/or Sudbrook Kinderhaus to cover staff leave and busy periods.

Key tasks and responsibilities:

  • Work in line with all school policies/regulations and be aware of responsibilities under child protection legislation (safeguarding)
  • Play and deliver engaging, age-appropriate activities in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
  • Support children's physical, cognitive, social, emotional and language development through play-based learning.
  • Create meaningful opportunities for children to hear, understand and use both German and English.
  • Use songs, stories, rhymes, games, conversations and everyday routines to encourage bilingual language development.
  • Celebrate German-speaking and English-speaking cultures, traditions and festivals while promoting respect for all cultures and languages.
  • Promote inclusive practice and adapt activities to meet individual needs, including those of children with special needs (SEND)
  • Work collaboratively with parents to support children's learning, development and transition between home and nursery.
  • Maintain accurate records and comply with confidentiality and data protection requirements.
  • Cover shifts or hours as required during staff leave and busy periods

Requirements

  • Previous experience of working in a nursery or as child minder would be beneficial
  • A genuine interest in early childhood development and play-based learning.
  • Good communication skills delivering a caring, patient, reliable and proactive approach.
  • An understanding of safeguarding, child protection and inclusive practice
  • The ability to work effectively as part of a team.
  • A commitment to promoting children's safety, wellbeing and individual learning needs.
  • Confidence in speaking and understanding German or English or both languages.
  • Flexible, organised and able to respond to children's changing needs.
  • Culturally sensitive and respectful of linguistic diversity.

Other information

We offer a competitive hourly wage and the opportunity to train towards early years education Level 2.

Application deadline: 30.11.2026.

All applications must be received through the DSL school website, and include a covering letter, stating how the applicant meets the requirements of the job.

The School reserves the right to close the recruitment process early.
