RELIEF NURSERY ASSISTANTS

Footsteps Nursery is located within St Joseph’s Catholic Primary school, near Bracknell town centre. We provide a welcoming, caring and safe place where children learn through their play and grow in confidence.

We are looking for individuals who are interested in working on a casual hours basis as Relief Nursery Assistants to support the nursery team when required.

All candidates must be available to work on Fridays.

No experience is necessary – just a genuine interest in pursing a role in childcare with a flexible, positive and ‘can do’ attitude.

You will be supporting the Nursery Room Leader in managing both individual and groups of pupils and provide physical/general care and assistance with their learning.

We can offer you:

• A friendly and professional team who strive to gain the best outcomes for all of our pupils
• A working environment where staff and children are valued and treated with respect
• Our ethos ensures pupils are consistently kind, friendly and well behaved.
• Term-time only, relief support, working hours from 8.30am – 3.05pm

We are keen to find the right candidates as soon as possible and a successful candidate may be selected before the closing date - so please don't delay and apply as soon as possible.
