Qualified. Confident. Compassionate. Could this be you?

Are you passionate about giving young children the very best start in life?

Do you bring creativity, warmth, and energy into every setting you work in?

If so – we’d love to have you as part of our flexible Early Years team supporting nurseries across the Aston, Anston, Wales, and Swallownest areas.

⭐ What We’re Looking For

We are seeking Early Years Practitioners (Level 3 or above) who hold at least one of the following essential qualifications:

  • Early Years Practitioner Qualification (or equivalent)
  • Degree in Childhood Studies / Early Childhood (Level 6)
  • EY Teacher Status
  • QTS with Early Years focus
  • EY Professional Status

  • Looking for ad‑hoc , day‑to‑day nursery support
  • Hoping to build up to long‑term or full‑time work
  • Wanting a role that fits around your existing commitments

…there is a place for your skills and personality here.

You’ll be supporting nurturing, high‑quality EYFS provision across settings in Rotherham , particularly within the Aston, Anston, Wales, and Swallownest communities – so access to these areas is essential.

✔️ Essential Requirements

  • Minimum Level 3 Early Years qualification
  • One of the EY‑specific qualifications listed above
  • Engaging, child‑centred approach
  • Reliability, enthusiasm, and a collaborative mindset
  • DBS on the Update Service or willingness to apply for a new one
  • Ability to adapt to different nursery environments with confidence and warmth

Why Join Us?

  • Flexible working that works for you
  • Support from a friendly, responsive team
  • Opportunities to grow your experience across a range of wonderful EY settings
  • Meaningful work that impacts children’s early development every day

Ready to Bring Your EY Expertise to Local Nurseries?

If you’re passionate, qualified, and excited to make an impact across Rotherham’s early years settings, we’d love to hear from you.

Get in touch today and let’s start your next chapter.
