Job Details
We're looking for two passionate, qualified Nursery Managers to help us launch something brand new: a nursery at Finnegan's World.
This is a rare opportunity to be part of a nursery from the very beginning — shaping its culture, its curriculum, and its community from the ground up. Alongside the owner, you'll play a central role in our Ofsted registration process, help us build a team and a waiting list, and make sure our nursery opens with everything in place to be outstanding.
If you're an experienced nursery manager who thrives on building something rather than just running it, we'd love to hear from you.
