Our aim is to provide high quality child-centred Early Learning and Childcare (aged 3-5 years) which reflects and responds to individual needs.
 
We are looking for an enthusiastic, nurturing and innovative Early Childhood Practitioner. Do you relish planning and delivering a child-centred, creative early years curriculum which meets the needs of individual children? Do you pride yourself on the high-quality learning experiences you offer the children in your care and the strong relationships you build with children, their families and partner agencies? If so, we would love to hear from you. 
 
You should be enthusiastic and enjoy working with young children.

You should be a good communicator and skilled at building positive relationships with colleagues, children and their families.

The ability to work in a team situation is essential and a flexible approach to working with young children and parents is required. 
 
You should hold an appropriate qualification e.g. SNNEB, NNEB, HNC, SCQF level 7 equivalent or SVQ 3 in Childcare and Education or SVQ 3 Social Services (Children and Young People), as well as have the eligibility to register with SSSC.
