Senior SQL DBA - Sunderland

We are seeking Qualified Early Years Practitioners to join the team on a temp to perm basis.

Who we are:

We set up in 2017 because we wanted to find ways to help communities to thrive and prosper in challenging times. Community spaces and buildings are under pressure due to funding cuts and we were sure that we could find a way to keep some of them open by doing business a bit differently – a social enterprise way. We run children’s nurseries in public buildings, paying market rent to the landlord, providing a resource for local working families and the youngest members of communities. Then when the nursery makes a profit, we give all of it back to the community it came from - and everyone benefits, not just the families who use the nursery.

You will have:

  • The ability to contribute to creating a welcoming, inclusive, collaborative and supportive environment

  • Children’s needs at the forefront of everything that you do

  • A positive mindset, approaching tasks with a can-do-attitude

  • A strong work ethic, setting a good example for others and supporting your team

  • The want to make a difference, working in partnership positively with your team

  • The want to be part of trying or suggesting new initiatives and ways of doing things - High standards for yourself, team and the nursery

  • A reflective mindset, open to feedback and ongoing self-improvement

    What you will be doing:

    -Delivering children’s care routines

    -Ensuring that you are delivering our ‘learning through play’ educational ethos

    -Building and maintaining excellent relationships with parents

    -Introducing innovative activities and constantly challenging children’s learning and development

    -Promoting child welfare and ensuring safeguarding procedures are followed

    Supporting children’s learning and development by:

    -Ensuring that there is a high level of positive interaction with children

    -Providing fun, challenging and creative play experiences that encourage children to be curious and which spark their interests

    -Seizing opportunities to engage in ‘teachable moments’ within children’s play

    -Ensuring that learning is play-led; focusing on the ‘process’ of an activity rather than the end product

    -Applying your expert knowledge of child learning and development and the importance of child involvement in that process, to put in place supporting strategies for all children

    -Working with all children and their families to ensure that they are supported in the nursery

    Must hold NNEB, NVQ Level 2 or 3 (Childcare & Education), BTEC (Childcare) or equivalent, or higher qualification
