About the role
Are you looking for a rewarding role working with young children, but need a schedule that fits around your life? Whether you are a fully qualified practitioner or someone looking to break into the childcare sector with no prior formal qualifications, we have fantastic opportunities for you.
We are currently recruiting enthusiastic Unqualified and Qualified Early Years Educators for flexible day-to-day cover and stable, long-term positions at welcoming nurseries, preschools, and infant settings near Ely and the surrounding East Cambridgeshire villages.
Whether you want to control your week or find a consistent routine in a single setting, we can help you build your ideal working week.
Find Your Perfect Balance:
Day-to-Day Supply: Take total ownership of your diary. Pick and choose exactly which days you work each week. It is a fantastic option for students, parents, or anyone looking for absolute flexibility with no planning or administrative burdens.
Long-Term Placements: If you prefer consistency, we offer regular fixed-term positions lasting a term or a full school year. This allows you to become an integral part of a local team, build deep bonds with a specific group of children, and support their development over time.
What We Are Looking For:
For Qualified Candidates:
EYFS Qualifications: Cache Level 2/3, NVQ Level 2/3 in Early Years/Childcare, Foundation Degree, or Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS / QTS).
A solid understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.
For Unqualified Candidates:
A genuine passion for working with young children and a warm, nurturing, and patient personality.
Transferable experience in parenting, babysitting, youth volunteering, or a desire to step into a brand-new career path (we will provide the support you need!).
For All Applicants:
An adaptable, proactive mindset, ready to step in and support fun, play-based learning and sensory activities.
A valid Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one immediately).
Why Join Our Team?
Competitive rates of pay, reflective of your qualification/experience level and paid weekly.
A simple, transparent booking process that works strictly around your personal availability.
Free access to fundamental CPD courses and safeguarding refresher training to build your portfolio.
Support from a dedicated local consultant who knows the childcare landscape near Ely inside out.
Ready to start shaping young minds on your own schedule?
Take control of your working week today.
How to Apply: Please send your CV and a brief summary of your background to [email removed] or call [phone removed] for a friendly, informal chat about our active roles near Ely.
We are strictly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All candidates will be required to undergo comprehensive vetting, reference checks, and an enhanced DBS disclosure.
