In your managerial capacity, you will support your team in delivering and overseeing activities and programs aligned with the EYFS to foster children's development and provide them with opportunities to socialize, explore safe and stimulating environments, and grow.

You will be part of a multi-agency team and may occasionally provide support to ensure adequate staffing across various settings.
