Lampstand Learning will be a pack-away nursery, so the role will include helping to set up and pack away the nursery each day.
This involves safely moving and storing furniture, equipment and resources, so we’re looking for someone comfortable with the practical and physical side of the role, from preparing the environment to supporting children in their play and learning.
Reasonable adjustments will be considered where appropriate.
Join Lampstand Learning and grow with us.
As the company grows, there will be opportunities to take on additional responsibility and progress into future leadership and management roles.
If you are passionate about early years, enjoy working with children and people, and would love to help build something special from the beginning, we would love to hear from you.
