Nursery and Early Years Practitioners Needed Across Hampshire
Join our Early Years Supply Network for suitable nursery and early-years assignments across Hampshire and Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, the New Forest and surrounding areas of Hampshire.
Early years work includes nurseries, pre-schools, and school reception and nursery settings. You'll support children's learning and care in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage, both as part of a team and, at times, independently.
We're looking for practitioners who genuinely enjoy working with young children and who understand how important the early years are. Whether you're a qualified practitioner, an experienced support worker, or building a career in early years, you can tell us the settings and age ranges you'd like to work with.
What assignments may involve
- Supporting children's learning and development in line with the EYFS
- Meeting children's day-to-day care needs
- Planning and leading activities where appropriate
- Working as part of the setting team
- Following safeguarding and setting policies
- Communicating with parents and carers where appropriate
Experience and qualifications
Relevant early-years experience and, where required by the setting, an appropriate recognised qualification.
- An early years qualification where required
- Relevant experience with young children
- Genuine enthusiasm for the early years
- Warmth, patience and good communication
- Flexibility to work across different settings
How the Supply Network works
- Tell us you are available, and we keep you in mind for suitable bookings
- Choose the locations you want to work in, including this town or city and the surrounding area
- Register for the role you want, and we match it against requests from local schools and settings
- Schools contact us about their cover needs, often at short notice, and we look for people already registered
- The more flexible and available you are, the more opportunities may come your way
- We manage the paperwork, so you can focus on the work
- All candidates are vetted and checked in line with our safeguarding procedures before any work
Safeguarding and vetting
Every candidate is interviewed, identity-checked and reference-checked before joining. Where required for the role, we also support you through the relevant vetting and safeguarding checks, and we work with schools to make sure their expectations are clear from the start.
This is an ongoing Supply Network opportunity. Registering does not create a contract of employment and does not guarantee that work will be offered, or that a specific vacancy exists at any school. We will contact you when suitable opportunities arise based on your availability and preferences.
