Apprentice Nursery Practitioner

5 days ago

South Croydon, United Kingdom Impact Futures Candidate Team Full time

An exciting and unique opportunity has arisen to work and train in a thriving and outstanding independent school, and train alongside a qualified Teacher and experienced staff in our 51-week nursery with children aged 2-4.

**About the Role**

As an Apprentice Nursery Practitioner, you are responsible for supporting the progress of all the children in your class. With the support and guidance from the class teacher, as you progress you will be assigned Key Children and be responsible for preparing and delivering activities throughout the week and contributing to end of year reports, next steps, online learning journeys and weekly planning.

Safeguarding children is paramount to everything that we do at Cumnor House. You will be expected to engage in safeguarding training provided, read and comply with all safeguarding policies and procedures and ensure that all safeguarding concerns are reported in appropriately in line with the policy.

Daily you will be a role model for the children setting high expectations and managing behaviour. You will be expected to always maintain a level of professionalism including following the staff dress code and ensuring appropriate language is used at all times towards staff and children. With your team you will be responsible for ensuring the classroom environment is set up correctly at the start of the day and that the classroom is kept tidy and replenished.

In addition, you will train alongside experienced staff and have internal and external training to deliver intimate care, complete risk assessments and deliver first aid following the school policies and recording it correctly. When ready and agreed by the class teacher, manager, or Head of Early Years, you will perform these duties alone to support your team. First Aid will only be approved once you have completed your Paediatric First Aid training, which will be provided by the school once you have passed your probation period.

**About the Company**

Cumnor House is an outstanding independent school and part of the Cognita Group. We have two nurseries that are coeducational that feed into our Boys and Girls school located in Purley and South Croydon.

We only take on two apprentices a year and have a unique professional development programme that will continue to support you to gain your level 3 but also after as well. This could be taking the next steps to teacher training, learning more about forest school or becoming a deputy manager. We make sure we are supporting and promoting excellent practitioners. Many of our current Nursery Managers and Teachers started as Nursery Practitioners in one of our nurseries.

In addition, all staff including apprentices have excellent wellbeing packages. We believe that happy staff create happy places for children to learn and thrive from small gestures such as a free coffee machine with coffee pods in the cosy staff room, to allowing staff to wear their own clothes or Friday breakfasts, we try to create a place of work that everyone can enjoy.

With this in mind, we also have excellent staff packages; all staff get paid lunches, a free healthy lunch and snacks on site, their own iPad, free parking, excellent sickness benefits, excellent maternity leave, 25 days holiday, flexible working hours, staff shop with discounts on cars, utility bills and gym membership, staff recognition and social events.
