Dorset childcare jobs

£500 Joining Bonus
(£250 on joining, £250 after 6 months successful probation period)

The Children’s House Montessori School is an independent nursery registered to care for up to 40 2 – 5-year-olds, split into two class groups. We are looking to recruit a part-time practitioner to start with us as soon as possible.

Are you energetic, enthusiastic and LOVE children?

Ideally we would like you to hold a Level 3 childcare qualification or equivalent.
However, we would welcome applicants who hold a Level 2 and would like to continue training, or are currently training to achieve a Level 3.

We’re looking for someone bursting with ideas to enrich our children’s learning, and are keen to welcome your passions, hobbies and interests to nursery.

Can you form nurturing and encouraging relationships with your key children and their families?

Can you help children to achieve their best possible outcome, and understand that this will be different for each and every one of them?

Then you might be the person we’re looking for!

At the Children’s House we work within the EYFS, supported by the use of some Montessori learning resources. Although previous Montessori experience is desirable for this position, it is not at all necessary. Applications from non-Montessori backgrounds will be welcomed. In-house training and support can be given to the successful applicant if needed, so this may be a great opportunity to broaden your childcare experience!

We would consider applicants who prefer to work either:

Full time, working 48 weeks of the year. (We have a 2-week Christmas closure, and a further 2 weeks at the end of August, and are also closed on all bank holidays.)

Or a term-time only basis, working for 38 weeks of the year during school term times, but not during school holidays.

Initial hours will be:
Mon 8.30 – 1
Tues 8.30 – 4
Wed 8.30 – 1
Thurs 8.30 – 1
Fri 8.30 – 4

We offer fully paid sickness leave for up to 8 of your normally worked sessions each academic year, and encourage CPD by paying staff for any training that takes place outside of their normally worked hours. We pride ourselves on being family friendly in supporting staff who have home commitments as well as their job with us.

We are able to offer £12.44/hr for a Level 3 qualified practitioner, reviewed annually.

An Enhanced DBS check will be required for this post.

We are a small, happy team and enjoy working in a nursery based in a woodland setting in the grounds of Rushcombe School in Corfe Mullen. Please see our newsletter and gallery photos on the nursery website for an idea of the types of activities we offer our children.
