Are you looking to start a rewarding career in which you shape and inspire young children's future?

Ideally, you should have the ability to read stories, with at least 10 interruptions per page, resemble traits of an octopus with 8 arms and legs to support any little person that needs it at the same time

Must not be afraid to dance in the rain, make mud pies and jump up and down in muddy puddles

Possessing the skills required to rapidly count heads of numerous moving small people is of the upmost importance. Be as quick as a gazelle, when you witness the mischievous look in a little person's eyes.

Finally, you must be prepared to feel loved, special and important to many young children and their families. Realise the important role you play in lots of special people's lives.

**Skills required**:
No experience is necessary, however good communication skills and a keen interest in supporting the development of young children are essential. The ability to engage and interact enthusiastically with children is important.

- Be a valued member of a team.
- Following nursery safeguarding procedures to ensure all children are kept safe and secure
- Working closely with parents/carers to deliver an individual learning and development journey for children
- Assisting children with personal care tasks including toileting, dressing, and feeding

**Hours of work and rate of pay**:
Hours of work and rate of pay are agreed by the individual employer.

A normal working week in a nursery will be between Monday - Friday, and 35-40 hours per week, however this can vary if you are employed in an Out of School Care Setting.

National Minimum Wage for a Modern Apprentice is set by the Government, which is currently £5.28 per hour.

You will also work towards obtaining an industry recognised qualification, which normally takes 12-15 months.
