Nursery Practitioner

We are recruiting both qualified and unqualified practitioners to join our forward-thinking, family-run group of nurseries.

We offer our practitioners a very competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement, and attractive pension and healthcare schemes. Our practitioners also benefit from on-going support, excellent training opportunities and career development from our dedicated team of managers. With 6 nurseries, all based in the west end of Edinburgh, travelling to work by either bus or train couldn’t be easier either.

Our nurseries combine the very latest teaching techniques with traditional family values. We provide a unique learning and therefore working environment - you won’t be stuck indoors when the sun is shining. You’ll be in the woods at Forest Schools, at the beach for Coastal Classrooms or out and about at local events, sites or attractions.

Qualified? You will be caring and enthusiastic with a good knowledge of pre-birth to three and the curriculum for excellence as well as previous experience of working with children under 5.

Unqualified? We expect you to have a can-do attitude, to be able to demonstrate a passion for working with children, and to be willing to study towards an accredited childcare qualification. We welcome applications from people taking their first steps into work as well as individuals looking to change careers and move into childcare.

If you feel that you have the required attitude, skills and experience and would like to develop your childcare career in an award winning, friendly and caring environment then we would love to hear from you. If you are interested in this opportunity please submit an up-to-date CV to recruitment@earlydaysnurseries.org.uk

This post is considered regulated work with children therefore you will be required to join the PVG Scheme prior to commencing employment. You will also be required to be registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) within 6 months of your start date.
