About the role

Nursery Assistant – Stoke-on-Trent

£14.24–£16.15 per hour · Weekly pay · Flexible days

Looking for nursery work where you can choose when you work and get paid every Friday?

Vision For Education are looking for Nursery Assistants and Early Years Practitioners to work across nurseries and Early Years settings throughout Stoke-on-Trent.

Whether you want one or two days around other commitments, a full working week, or something more regular, we can work around your availability.

The role

As a Nursery Assistant, you'll work alongside existing Early Years teams to:

  • Support children through play, activities and daily routines

  • Help create a safe, positive and engaging environment

  • Support meals, naps and personal care where required

  • Encourage children's learning, communication and development

  • Work across different rooms and age groups depending on the setting

With supply work, your shift finishes when you leave the nursery – no paperwork or learning journeys following you home.

What you'll get

  • £14.24–£16.15 per hour, depending on qualifications, experience and the role

  • Paid every Friday through PAYE

  • Choose the days you work

  • Day-to-day, regular weekly and longer-term opportunities

  • Nursery work across ST1–ST6

  • Opportunities in Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Fenton, Longton, Meir, Blurton and surrounding areas

  • Free training and professional development

  • Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant

Who we're looking for

We're particularly interested in applicants with:

  • Experience working within a nursery, pre-school or Early Years setting

  • A Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years/Childcare qualification

  • Paediatric First Aid, particularly for Level 3 opportunities

  • A positive, reliable and caring approach

  • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one

Don't have a Level 3 qualification? You can still apply.

We regularly recruit for Nursery Assistant opportunities where a Level 3 qualification isn't required.

Flexible work that fits around you

You tell me which days you're available, how far you're willing to travel and the type of nursery work you're looking for.

Some people enjoy working across different settings. Others prefer becoming a regular face at the same nursery. We have opportunities for both.

Before accepting a booking, you'll know where you're going, the hours you're working and what the nursery needs from you.

How to Apply

Apply through this website with your contact details and I'll be in touch.

No cover letter needed.

Or contact me directly and simply say “NURSERY”:
