Port William Playgroup is a well-established and nurturing setting, committed to delivering high-quality Early Learning and Childcare for up to 24 children aged 3–5 years.

We are looking for a practitioner to join our dedicated team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who brings experience within an early years setting. You will play a key role in shaping children’s early experiences through engaging, play-based learning.

We are particularly keen to welcome someone who brings initiative, creativity and a commitment to delivering the highest standards of care and education.

The ideal candidate will be motivated, reliable, and able to contribute positively to a collaborative team environment, while also using their initiative and professional judgement to support high-quality outcomes for children.
