Senior Early Years Practitioner
We’re looking for a Senior Early Years Practitioner to join our Kids’ Zone team. We know the true power of play, indoors and out, and would rather spend our time providing quality play sessions than completing paperwork-based assessments. Join us to share your fresh ideas to enhance every session, and collaborate with a supportive, growing team dedicated to creativity, connection, and making a real difference in children’s lives. We are an Ofsted registered setting, within the hotel, offering supervised sessions to guests’ children as well as non-residents. We care for children aged 6 months to 12 years old and provide a babysitting service for children on request. You’ll be enthusiastic about diving into our sessions, adaptable in the moment, and focused on bringing out the very best in every activity in a location where learning and play come together seamlessly. This is a full-time position with a share of tips paid monthly.

- NVQ level 3 qualification in childcare
- Proven experience delivering childcare and play opportunities in a childcare setting

- Strong communication skills
- An energetic team player with a positive attitude and outlook
- Ability to remain calm and considered under pressure
