Dunfermline, United Kingdom Lauriston Nursery Full time

Lauriston Nursery, we are looking for staff for both our Dunfermline and Kinross nurseries to cope with the additional demand.

Could you be the final pieces of their jigsaw to support the growth of the nursery?

Your role will be to support and develop early year’s education in the most fun and innovative way and you can use your experience working in a nursery environment to fit into our team delivering the best possible childcare within a well-resourced family run nursery with a large friendly team.
- You must have a friendly, smiling face to welcome all children and families.
- You must have a good sense of humour and be able to laugh at jokes that are not funny unless you are 5 and under
- Vivid imaginations are essential - if requested to be the King of the Castle you must be the bestest King of the Castle
- An excellent singing voice is not required however the ability to loudly sing a nursery rhyme out of tune in front of an audience is essential
- Long arms to wrap round one or more children for squishy hugs are a bonus
- Accept that you may enter public places after your work with numerous unidentifiable substances on your clothing and possibly in your hair
- You must be able to resist the urge to sniff playdough and be able to stop the children from eating it, licking it, sticking it in ears, up noses and/or in hair
- Must not be squeamish - poo will play a big part in your day
- A sense of smell better than a police dog's is required to find the culprit(s) of any offending odours
- Must be able to read an upside down book with at least 6 interruptions per page whilst not losing your place.
- You must be prepared to have lots of fun and laugh frequently throughout each day.
- Lastly and most importantly you must want to make each child feel nurtured and secure, special and important.

The boring stuff:
- You have to get up early in the morning to start work.
- You have to have a bit of paper which tells us that you studied for a SVQ3, HNC or equivalent.
- You will have had experience working in a childcare environment before.
- You will have another bit of paper telling us that you have a PVG and SSSC registration.
- You will know all about the Curriculum for Excellence and/or Pre-birth to Three Curriculum

- Free dedicated parking.
- Staff uniforms.

We look forward to hearing from you.
