Nursery Assistant

37 hours per week, term-time + 3 weeks

Do you have experience of working in an educational nursery? 

Are you committed to ensuring children thrive and get the best start in life?

If so, Bushey St James Trust (BSJT) has a fantastic opportunity for a Nursery Assistant to join our growing multi academy Trust. The successful person will support the Nursery Manager with the development of our new ‘Little Gems Nursery’ which opens in September 2018. The nursery is an exciting new initiative offering subsidised childcare to members of staff employed by BSJT. 

The successful person will be there from the start providing a great opportunity for an individual who wants to be actively involved with helping with setting up and establishing our new nursery. Little Gems itself will initially be located at Little Reddings Primary School which already has an established and well-led nursery. 

You should be passionate about providing a high level of childcare for children aged 3 months- 3 years. You will be able to demonstrate a love of learning with children. It is essential to ensure that their individual needs are met, together with building positive working relationships with the staff team, children and their parents/carers. 

The Little Gems Nursery will be open from 8.00am to 6.00pm weekdays during term-time so some flexibility will be required with working patterns/hours. The salary for the post is APT&C points 17 – 20 + fringe (currently £18,672p.a. to £19,819p.a. + £857p.a.), paid pro-rata based on hours worked. Actual salary point will depend on skills and experience. 

Bushey St James Trust is a great place to work and is made up of Bushey Meads School, Little Reddings Primary School and Hartsbourne Primary School. All of our schools have strong links with other local schools and good practice and ideas are shared across the Trust. Transport links are good with the M1, M25, A1 and A41 being close by and local bus routes are only a short walk. 

Full details of the vacancy can be found on our website www.busheymeads.org.uk along with further information about the school and the Trust. Alternatively, please contact the HR team on 020 8955 8833.
