The Opportunity Are you a dedicated Early Years educator looking for a stable, permanent position in a setting that truly values your expertise? We are partnering with a wonderful day nursery in Crawley that is looking for passionate Level 3 Practitioners to join their team this June. This is a brilliant opportunity to secure a long-term role within a setting committed to high standards of care and professional development. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or a "gold standard" educator looking to make a fresh start, this nursery offers a supportive environment where you can truly thrive and build a career.

You will be joining a team that is currently growing and evolving, offering a great chance to be part of a positive and professional educational community.

What We Are Looking For

Qualifications

A full and relevant Level 3 qualification in Childcare/Early Years (e.g., CACHE or NVQ).

Commute

Ideally suited for candidates based in Crawley or those with an easy commute to the Three Bridges area.
