Located just a 5-minute walk from Stapleton Road and Lawrence Hill Roundabout, both have regular bus links across Bristol, also only a 10-minute walk from Stapleton Road train station and easily accessible by bike. There is also free on-street parking in the local area.

What about you?

We’re looking for an experienced Room Leader to join the team as Senior Room Leader and third in charge. This role supports the nursery manager and deputy nursery manager.

This exciting opportunity would be perfect for someone looking to progress their Early Years career into nursery management. We’re looking for an inspiring and qualified Senior Room Leader who can bring energy and passion to their work, supporting the nursery management team to get the best out of the wider team. You’ll communicate well with parents, children and your team members.

It would be desirable (but not essential) if you have some SEN experience, working with children and their families, to complete the necessary SEN paperwork. As there may be an opportunity for a SENDCO role to run alongside the Senior Room Leader role, if this was of interest. Please note the SENCO role would be paid as an extra annual fee in addition to your salary.

To apply for this role, you will need to have a relevant qualification in early years – NNEB, NVQ Level 3+ (Childcare & Education), BTEC (Childcare) or equivalent, or higher qualification such as QTS, Foundation Degree or BA Hons in early years education or child development.
