We are looking for an enthusiastic, caring and fun practitioner to join our team!
Bouncing Beans is a welcoming, calm and friendly environment where we place a high level of importance on supporting our staff's happiness as much as our childrens. If you are looking for a fun place to work and are passionate about early years education, we would love you to join our team!
The role:
This is a full-time position in our pre-school room, working Monday to Friday, 43 hours per week. The hours of work are 8.00am to 5.00pm with one or two 5.30pm finishes each week. Our pre-school room has a maximum of 13 children aged 3 to 4 years with a minimum of two staff (additional staff in the room to support SEN).
We offer our staff the opportunity to change room and age group each September to support their personal development and happiness within the role.
You will be expected to take on key person responsibilities and you will be given time away from the room and children, within your normal working hours for planning and to complete children's records.
In our setting we strive to create a culture of curiosity, awe and wonder which is guided by our use of The Curiosity Approach®. We train our staff in The Curiosity Approach, using our beautiful and engaging setting to support children’s learning through endless play opportunities.
What we offer:
Without staff who love coming to work, feel supported in their workplace and are able to be at their best, we cannot support our children to reach their best. Therfore, we think it is vital to offer all our staff a comprehensive package. We can offer you:
- a supportive and friendly working environment
- Free uniform - comfy fleeces, polos, hoodies, coat and waterproofs
- paid morning tea break (drinks included)
- additional holiday award
- discounted childcare for your own children
