Nursery Assistant

North Shields, United Kingdom YMCA North Tyneside Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Nursery for a Nursery Assistant to join us on a bank staff agreement.

We are looking for someone with a passion to ensure children have the best start in life. Something the team at YMCA Day Nursery believes should be the case for every child placed in their care.

If you can do the following this could be the role for you:
Could you read stories upside down, with at least 10 interruptions per minute?

You would preferably have a quirkiness-if a child requests you to be a bus driver, police officer, or even an astronaut, could you take them on an imaginary journey through space?

You can't be afraid to dance in the rain, explore in the mud kitchen or build a snowman in the depths of winter.

Having the skill to count the quick-moving heads of small people is a must-have skill.

Nose wiping skills are of course desired

Finally, you must be prepared to feel appreciated, loved and have essential bonds with young children and their families.

As a nursery manager, I can assure you that there is no better feeling in any workplace than meeting a small 6-month-old baby who you will support and watch them grow and develop into a member of the preschool room being ready to begin their school journey
