Job description

Bank Nursery Practitioner - Northampton
Job Title: Bank Staff - Level 2/3 Childcare Practitioner
Location: Northampton
Rate: starting at £13 per hour + (Dependent on qualifications and experience)
Start Date: ASAP / September 2025

Are you looking for flexibility, variety, and the chance to work in a truly child-centred nursery setting? Aspire People are excited to be supporting a vibrant and welcoming nursery in Northampton, in their search for enthusiastic Bank Nursery Practitioners to join their team on a flexible, as-needed basis.

About the Setting:
This unique, open-plan nursery is built on the principles of child-led learning and exploration. Children move freely between spaces, discovering the world through curiosity, creativity, and play. Whether it's a spontaneous bug hunt in the garden, water play in the sunshine, or messy art indoors, the nursery provides a stimulating environment where no two days are alike.

As bank staff, you'll be stepping in to support the permanent team when needed - covering staff absences, busy periods, or extra hands-on-deck moments. You'll have the chance to immerse yourself in the nursery's playful, inclusive ethos without committing to a set rota.

What We're Looking For:
* Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years Qualification
* Flexible, reliable practitioners happy to work on an ad-hoc basis
* Energetic, proactive, and confident in supporting children across different age groups
* A passion for outdoor play and creative learning
* Strong commitment to safeguarding and child welfare
* SEND experience is desirable, but a genuine interest in inclusive practice is equally valued
*
This role is perfect if you're newly qualified and seeking experience, or if you're an experienced practitioner looking for flexibility and variety in your work.

How to Apply:
Please send your CV or contact Charlotte at Aspire People on 01234 394 781.
Join a nursery where children lead the way - and where your passion, creativity, and flexibility can make a positive difference whenever you step in.
This role is subject to satisfactory references, an enhanced DBS check, social media screening, health clearance, and a probationary period.

It is an offence to apply for this role if you are barred from working with children. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All applicants must declare relevant criminal convictions that are not protected under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions) Order 1975.
We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Aspire People Limited provides services as an Education Agency and an Education Employment Business. Aspire People is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and expects every candidate to share this commitment. Placements are subject, to appropriate Child Protection screening, including checks with former employers and the Disclosure and Barring Checks.
