Level 2 early years practitioner

Are you a Level 2 qualified Early Years Practitioner looking for a nursery where you can genuinely grow and progress?

At Harbour Talent, we take a different approach to recruitment.

We’re candidate-led, which means we start with you — your goals, your preferred environment, and where you want your career to go. From there, we introduce you to nurseries that will support your development, not just fill a vacancy.

What you can expect from us

A confidential conversation (phone or face-to-face) to understand your career goals

Introductions to nurseries offering the right training, support, and progression opportunities

Ongoing support after you start — because long-term fit matters to us

What we’re looking for

A UK-recognised Level 2 Early Years qualification

Right to work in the UK (please note, we cannot offer visa sponsorship)

Ability to reasonably commute to Plymouth, Saltash, or your preferred Devon location

A genuine passion for working with and supporting children under five

Why register with Harbour Talent?

Many of the nurseries we partner with are happy to support the right Level 2 practitioner in progressing to Level 3 qualifications. If career development is important to you, we’ll help you find a setting that invests in its team.
