Nursery Assistant (Level 3) - Stanmore
£27,500 - £27,900 per year | Full-time, permanent | 40 hours per week

Lumora Recruitment is working with a warm, family-run day nursery in Stanmore to appoint an experienced Room Leader. This is a permanent, full-time position with an immediate start available for the right candidate.

About the role

As Room Leader you will take day-to-day responsibility for your room and the team within it, planning and delivering activities in line with the EYFS framework and supporting each child's learning and development. You will act as key person to a group of children, maintain accurate observations and progress records, and build strong, trusting relationships with parents and carers.

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.
