Are you looking for flexible work that fits around your life, while still giving you the chance to make a meaningful impact every day? Aspire People are pleased to be supporting a warm, welcoming, and truly child‑centred nursery in Northampton, who are seeking committed Bank Nursery Practitioners to join their team on an ad‑hoc, flexible basis.

This open‑plan, forward‑thinking nursery champions child‑led learning and exploration. Children are encouraged to follow their interests throughout the day – whether that’s discovering nature outdoors, experimenting with water play, or getting stuck into creative activities. The setting offers a rich, stimulating environment where curiosity is nurtured, and no two days look the same.

As part of the bank team, you’ll step in to support the permanent staff during busy periods, staff absences, or whenever extra hands are needed. It’s an excellent opportunity to experience a high‑quality early year’s environment while maintaining full control over your availability.

• Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years Qualification
• Flexible, reliable practitioners able to work on an ad‑hoc basis
• Confident, proactive individuals who can support children across all age groups
• A genuine enthusiasm for outdoor learning and creative play
• Strong knowledge of safeguarding and commitment to child welfare
• Experience with SEND is desirable, though a positive attitude toward inclusive practice is equally valued

This role is ideal for newly qualified practitioners seeking to build experience, or for experienced early years professionals looking for variety, work‑life balance, and the ability to choose when they work.

Please send your CV or contact Charlotte at Aspire People on 01234 394 781.

Join a nursery where children lead their own learning – and where your creativity, adaptability, and passion can make a real difference whenever you step in.

This role is subject to satisfactory references, an enhanced DBS check, social media screening, health clearance, and a probationary period. It is an offence to apply for this role if you are barred from working with children. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants must declare any relevant criminal convictions not protected under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions) Order 1975.

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
