We are looking for a Part-time Lunchtime Assistant working 16 hours a week (experience within an Early Years setting desirable) to join our established nursery in Bletchley, Milton Keynes.
Acorn has recently been awarded a ‘Top 20 Recommended Nursery Group 2024’ Award by Day Nurseries in recognition of its high customer reviews over the last 12 months. We’re proud to be one of the leading childcare providers in Milton Keynes, Northampton and Bedford with over 35 years’ experience who specialise in nature pedagogy and promoting the professional development of our employees.
You will be rewarded with a competitive salary, great training and progression opportunities, enhanced pension contributions, and 65% childcare discount. As a not-for-profit organisation, Acorn always puts the needs of the children first, meaning you will be working for a business that cares about more than just profit. We close our nurseries for four days a year to allow days to train our staff in a variety of subjects.
The position is working 16-20 hours per week Monday through to Friday all year round working between the hours of 11.00 - 15.00 every day.
We very much welcome candidates that are looking to progress their personal career development.
The ideal candidate will be passionate, motivated and enthusiastic about outdoor learning and creative play.
Successful applicants must be able to provide ‘right to work in the UK’ documentation, provide two satisfactory references and undertake an enhanced DBS check prior commencing employment.
Sustainability and being part of the local community is an important factor to us, so if you want to see if there is a nursery closer to you, get in touch with our HR team today on: 01908 510309 or email: hr@acornearlyyears.org.uk
