LOCATION – CAMBRIDGE

Are you looking to work for an organisation whose culture is driven by our HEART principles – Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork? Where you can be yourself, feel supported, and help to make a difference to the next generation? Somewhere you can say: “I did that.”
We’re looking for a Deputy Manager to join our Cambridge Milton Road Nursery. Enjoy a serene staff room perfect for unwinding during breaks, indulge in a delicious breakfast provided daily, and refresh with our thoughtfully stocked care baskets in the bathrooms. At Bright Horizons, we care for you as much as you care for the little ones!

As a Deputy Manager, you will lead, mentor, support, and inspire a team to deliver exception care and education. You will act as Designated Safeguarding Lead, overseeing day to day running of the nursery and management of safeguarding and child protection policies. You will contribute to succession planning, training, and supporting team professional development plans, maintain strong partnerships with colleagues, parents, and other professionals (such as the Local Authority), and support the commercial success of the nursery through retention, occupancy growth, and maintaining budgets.
