Glasgow, United Kingdom Happy Days Too Full time

**MODERN APPRENTICESHIP IN EARLY YEARS**

We are a busy nursery seeking an enthusiastic Modern Apprentice to join our team and help care, nurture and educate our children aged from babies to 5 years old.

Are you aged 16-19 years old, caring and nurturing and sensitive to the individual needs of young children and their families? Opportunities for mature apprentices 20+ will also be considered.

**You will also work towards obtaining an SVQ in Social Services (Children and Young People) at SCQF Level 7. You will be supported by a qualification assessor and workplace mentor.**

Timescales for completion of this Modern Apprenticeship can vary depending on the individual, but normally take between 12 to 15 months.

Funding for training on our Modern Apprenticeship programme is available from Skills Development Scotland for applicants aged 16-19.

Do you interact effectively and enthusiastically with children?

Can you use your own initiative, be flexible and able to adapt to a fast-moving environment, while being a committed, valued member of a team?

**As a Modern Apprentice your key duties will include**:

- Following nursery safeguarding procedures to ensure all children are kept safe, well and secure
- Liaising with and working closely with parents/carers to deliver an individual learning and development journey for children
- Working closely within a team to operate a programme of activities that meet the individual needs and interests of children in your care
- Contributing to a wide range of learning activities and the achievement of learning outcomes
- Supporting all team members and engaging in developing an excellent working environment
- Assisting children with personal care tasks including toileting, dressing, and feeding
- Being flexible and providing help where needed, to include the cleaning of equipment and preparing of snacks
- Promoting the high standards of the nursery at all times to parents, staff, and visitors
- Ensuring awareness of procedures for risk management, equalities, confidentiality, and behaviour management

In recognition that disabled people and those who are care experienced can face additional challenges in their career journeys, an Enhanced Funding Contribution is available from Skills Development Scotland for disabled people and/or those who are care experienced and aged 20-29, provided certain eligibility criteria is met.

If you are unsure whether you will be eligible for funding, please contact us.
