The role
We're seeking an experienced Early Years professional to join us as a Nurture Partner. Rather than working within a single age room, you'll hold a dedicated caseload of up to 8–10 families, following the children in your care as they grow — building deep, continuous relationships rather than handing children on at each transition. This is relationship-centred practice in its truest sense: you get to know each child and family properly, and stay alongside them. You'll work within a nature-based, outdoor environment where children learn through play, exploration, and authentic relationship, and you'll be part of a team grounded in evidence-based practice drawn from neuroscience and social pedagogy. This is a role for someone who wants real professional depth — not a rota of rooms, but a caseload of families they truly know.
