Thrive Education is looking for enthusiastic and reliable Early Years Practitioners to support nurseries and pre-schools across Cirencester and the surrounding areas.

You don’t need to hold a Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification to apply.

We’re looking for people who already have experience working with children and would like the opportunity to use that experience within Early Years settings.

What we’re looking for

  • Previous experience working with children
  • A genuine interest in working within Early Years
  • A caring, patient and enthusiastic approach
  • Confidence engaging and interacting with young children
  • Someone reliable and happy to get involved
  • Good communication and teamwork
  • Nursery or pre-school experience is a bonus, but not essential

Your experience could include:

  • Nurseries or pre-schools
  • Primary schools
  • Teaching Assistant work
  • Breakfast or after-school clubs
  • Holiday clubs
  • Sports coaching
  • SEN support
  • Youth work
  • Other professional experience supporting children

Why work with Thrive?

Supply gives you the opportunity to experience different Early Years environments, build your knowledge and find the type of setting that suits you.

With Thrive, you’ll have:

  • Flexible working days to suit your availability
  • Opportunities across Cirencester and the surrounding Cotswolds
  • Term-time work available
  • Day-to-day, short-term and long-term placements
  • The chance to build valuable nursery and pre-school experience
  • Opportunities to work with different Early Years age groups
  • Regular check-ins throughout your placements
  • Support from Josh, our dedicated Early Years Consultant

We don’t want to simply send you somewhere and forget about you. We’ll get to know your experience, what you’re looking for and the type of settings where you’ll feel most comfortable.
