Looking for Total Flexibility?

Do you love working in Early Years but want a schedule that actually fits around your life? Whether you are looking for full 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM shifts, a few days a week, or just want to build up your experience in different settings across Plymouth, supply work is the perfect solution.

Randstad is looking for qualified Level 2 and Level 3 Nursery Assistants for immediate supply work. You tell us when you want to work, and we find the shifts that match.


Why Choose Supply Work with Randstad?

  • Weekly Pay: Get paid every Friday with competitive hourly rates and accrued holiday pay.

  • Variety & Experience: Work in some of Plymouth's best nurseries, expand your skills, and avoid the burnout of being tied to one room.

  • No Planning or Paperwork: Enjoy the best part of the job-interacting with the children-without the stress of EYFS tracking, learning journeys, or endless admin.


The Role

As a Supply Nursery Assistant, you will step into local settings to provide vital support. Your day will include:

  • Supporting the permanent team in delivering engaging, fun, and safe activities.

  • Helping with daily routines, including snack times, outdoor play, and tidy-up time.

  • Ensuring high standards of care, safety, and safeguarding at all times.

  • Bringing a positive, proactive attitude to every setting you visit.
