Full-Time Position

Lead with heart. Grow with purpose. Join us in North Dublin.

At Little Harvard, we’re looking for an experienced and motivated Assistant Crèche Manager to support the day-to-day running of our vibrant early years centres in Swords. If you're a natural leader with a passion for high-quality childcare and a talent for team support, this is your moment.

  • Leading, mentoring, and motivating a team of passionate educators.
  • Ensuring compliance with Tusla, ECCE, and all regulatory requirements.
  • Building strong relationships with families and supporting a warm, welcoming environment.
  • Assisting with administrative tasks, rosters, audits, and curriculum planning.
  • Stepping into leadership when needed with confidence and care.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
