YMCA Black Country is looking for qualified Level 2 / 3 Nursery Practitioners to join its award-winning nurseries across the West Midlands. Working at a YMCA Nursery isn't just a job, it's a career. Take Nicole, who joined us almost 10 years ago as a work experience student. Over the years, Nicole's passion for childcare was evident and through hard work and dedication, she has progressed through various role within YMCA nurseries and now manages our Pelsall Village setting. Not only that, Nicole is also a YMCA Youth Ambassador and has travelled locally, nationally and internationally, to speak out for young people on behalf of YMCA! We’re passionate about progression and continuing professional development, and we offer flexible hours, a workplace pension and other perks like life assurance, discount schemes and a health plan. There are even occasional opportunities to attend YMCA events, award ceremonies, and even international conferences. Unlike private nurseries, you’ll be joining a non-profit that reinvests every pound back into the local community. If you’re working in a school, nursery setting, or have temporarily left the profession and would welcome an exciting new role, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now. (fb)
