RAFAKidz Kinloss is our newest setting in our RAFAKidz family and opened in April 2026. Currently undergoing a complete refurbishment, circa 30 colleagues look after up to 100 children who are very excited about exploring our new extensive outdoors play areas! In addition, we also run a holiday club during summer and half term breaks. We have a range of full time and part time qualified practitioner roles available.

As a qualified Early Years Practitioner you will hold a full and relevant childcare qualification recognised by the SSSC (SCQF Level 7 such as HNC in Childhood Practice, SVQ3 in Children and Young People). You will also have the eligibility to register with SSSC and PVG Enhanced Disclosure Programme. We need you have a minimum of 1 year nursery experience and a Paediatric First Aid certificate.

You will be familiar with the Pre Birth to Three and Curriculum for Excellence standards. A typical day in the role will involve:

• Have knowledge of GIRFEC to plan and carry out fun, educational and stimulating activities
• Updating and maintaining accurate records that fulfil Care Inspectorate requirements
• Designated key worker responsibilities for a group of children
• Identify and support children with special educational needs and disabilities

As part of our inclusive culture, we encourage applications across all cultural backgrounds, genders and abilities.
