This is a very exciting time for Archbishop Wake Nursery!
Since becoming part of Archbishop Wake CE Primary School's provision in September, we are looking to grow our already successful nursery provision for children aged 0-4.
The setting is a thriving, forward-thinking and caring environment which is dedicated to enabling the best start in life for all children.
We are looking to expand and grow our provision, and we need a dedicated, ambitious and caring room lead to join our friendly team in the next phase of our journey.
We have three rooms within the nursery (0-2 years, 2-3 years and 3-4 years) and can be flexible which room the successful candidate would lead. Being part of the school provision, you will benefit from being well supported, having access to excellent, bespoke professional development and being supported through working within a much larger organisation (Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust - DSAT).
We want our staff to thrive so we offer an extensive range of wellness services and professional learning opportunities to support growth and development. Please visit our website for further details: Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust - Wellness
This role will provide you with many opportunities to learn new skills, solve problems and adapt to different situations. Every day is different and exciting - you can get creative, messy and encourage the children to explore the world through play.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You can make a real difference in children's lives by providing them with a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they are eager to ‘have a go’ and try new things.
About You
We are looking to appoint someone who is passionate about working with children, fun, calm and supportive. You'll be enthusiastic, self-motivated, and able to use your initiative. We use technology to communicate with each other and our families, and you will be confident in using a computer. Support will be available for specific programmes we use.
The successful applicant will require a minimum Level 3 in Early Years and Childcare qualification. Any Safeguarding, Paediatric First Aid, Childcare or Food Hygiene qualifications, that would also be an advantage. Previous experience as a room lead would be preferable but not essential.
You will also be working with a team of other professionals who share your passion and vision for childcare.
Applicants should be patient, love working with children, enthusiastic, self-motivated, and able to use their initiative.
