Job description

Are you a compassionate and caring individual looking to grow your career as a Qualified Nursery Nurse in a fun and nurturing environment? If so, then we are looking for enthusiastic Nursery Nurses to join our friendly team.

We offer childcare from the ages of 3 months to 5 years in our bright and airy nursery. The nursery has a dedicated craft and messy play area and access to a large and secure outside space- so lots of opportunities for adventure for our children! We also have cosy sleeping areas for when they need to rest.

You will be looking after a group of children and ensuring that all their needs are met during the day and that they have fun and engaging activities planned.

Taplins operates two purpose built day nurseries supporting our local NHS staff, and being part of the UHS family means you'll have access to lots of great benefits such as generous holiday allowance, and a discount scheme.

We're open Monday- Friday from 7am to 6.30pm and close bank holidays

You will plan and carry out a variety of fun activities with the children in line with the Early Years’ curriculum. You are also responsible for evaluating the activities, and for maintaining online learning journals via Tapestry.

To understand the role in more detail please read the full job description and person specification documents attached.
What we can offer you

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

There are opportunities for progression (if that is what you are looking for) within Taplins and the wider NHS. . If you are looking to work somewhere you can make a difference, then this could be the job for you as we are always open to new ideas.

Our working hours are between 7am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, so you need to be flexible to work shift patterns within these hours. Our part time staff work specific days during the week, and our full time posts are worked over 4 days giving you a day off in the week!

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

You also need to be great at liaising with parents/carers

You will be responsible for evaluating the activities, and for maintaining online learning journals via Tapestry.
What we’re looking for

You’ll need to be calm, kind and caring, and have an enthusiastic approach to working with children and their families.
