Early Years Practitioner in Liverpool - Award-Winning Nursery Group
£27,450-£29,120 (£13.20-£14 per hour, dependent on qualifications and experience)
Location: Multiple nurseries across South Liverpool, including Aigburth, Allerton, Childwall, Garston, Huyton and Wavertree.
Our client is an award-winning day nursery group with settings across South Liverpool. They're looking for warm, dedicated Early Years Practitioners to join their teams, working with children from birth to five.
This is a group that puts real thought into how children learn, with Forest School, yoga and daily mindfulness sessions sitting alongside the usual EYFS curriculum. It's a "family feel" environment, and it's earned them a run of Nursery World awards and finalist placings over the years. As a Practitioner, you'll be a key person to your own group of children, building the kind of relationships with them and their families that make a real difference.
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.
