Nursery Support Staff; BS

We’re on the lookout for caring, reliable and flexible individuals who genuinely love working with our youngest learners. If you thrive in a Nursery setting, where no two days are the same and the small moments matter most, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll be supporting children within EYFS, helping them settle into routines, build early communication skills and develop confidence through play-based learning. Whether you’re working one to one, in small groups or supporting the wider classroom, your calm presence and encouragement will help children feel safe, secure and ready to explore.

At Protocol Education, we pride ourselves on matching support staff to both short and long-term roles that suit your experience, strengths and availability. The schools we work with are warm, inclusive and genuinely value teamwork and wellbeing.

If you’re someone who celebrates first words, first friendships and those lightbulb moments, this could be a lovely next step for you.
