A bit about the role

"We work as a team. We work as a family." - Zainab, Room Manager

We know you work in Early Years because you love helping children develop and learn. You are warm and keen to give children the best education to succeed in life.

You’ll manage a team in your room to create and plan daily activities to engage and teach the children. You’ll also work closely with the management team and parents building great relationships and practice.

Every nursery shares LEYF’s unique teaching model. But you will have the freedom to be creative to suit how the children learn best. Whether you hop on a train to the Science Museum, take a bus to make friends at a nearby LEYF nursery, or bake with your nursery chef, it’s always about the children in our nurseries.

You will need:

• The right to work in the UK
• The ability to lead a ratio bound team and build strong relationships
• An ability to safeguard and protect children
• To be positive, adaptable and friendly
