Early Childhood Practitioner

1 week ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Islington Council Full time

An opportunity has arisen for an Early Childhood Practitioner to join Bright Start Islington, a vibrant multiagency network of professionals supporting families with children under 5.

This is a secondment opportunity for 6 months.


As children grow they need lots of opportunities to play and explore as they become more independent and develop their skills.

Friendship and support networks help parents to manage the daily challenges of parenthood. Bright Start Islington provides high quality activities during these years. We also help parents who are starting to think about preparing for work.


We are looking for a skilled, dedicated and enthusiastic Early Childhood Practitioner who is passionate about working with the whole family to improve outcomes.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to expand their experience beyond working primarily with children.

  • Have excellent communication skills and the ability to develop effective relationships with parent/carers to support them in promoting their children's learning and development at home
  • Understand the importance of play in young children's development and learning
  • Are Islington residents
  • Male workers who have post qualifying experience of working with children under 5 in an early years setting


You will join a committed team offering sessions to support mums, dads and carers such as stay and play, baby massage, toy libraries and baby bounce.

We work in a multidisciplinary team which includes health visiting, speech and language therapy and family support.


The post holder will be based across a Bright Start locality area and will be required to travel across different sites to deliver services.


In exchange for your commitment, hard work and flexibility you will receive competitive pay rates, annual leave and a local authority pension.

If you have any questions about the role, please contact Pippa Clare or Muna Salab
