Bank Staff - Little Thinkers Nursery (All Faiths Children's Academy)

We are looking for enthusiastic and flexible childcare staff who are qualified to level 2/ 3 or above, to work within the nursery setting as bank staff, and potentially also have the opportunity to join the team on a permanent full time basis should they wish.

We are looking to build up a support team that we can use to cover any gaps that may appear in our staffing due to sickness and holidays, etc. For the right candidates, we would ask you to work up to 10 hrs each day (Monday-Friday) as and when required, assuming you have the availability to do so. We will provide Safeguarding and any other relevant training as may be required to work effectively within our brand new nursery.

The role will be best suited to someone who has worked in childcare previously who is looking to gradually come back, working around your existing commitments.

For a more detailed job description please get in touch.

Little Thinkers is a registered charity and small family of nurseries providing childcare and early years provision to families in Strood, Portsmouth, Paignton and Furzeham. We pride ourselves on providing a safe, nurturing environment filled with learning opportunities.

As part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, we are proud to be a ‘thinking nursery’; a place where big ideas and curiosity are encouraged. Our approach delivers wonderous experiences that help children become confident, curious, and resilient individuals. Our core values, Imagination, Energy, Resilience, Questioning, Language, and Cooperation, shape everything we do.

Located within All Faiths Children’s Academy, another Thinking Schools Academy Trust school, this new nursery is perfectly positioned to support the Trust’s unique ‘all-through education’ pathway, giving families access to high-quality education from birth through to 18 years.
