Child Care / Nursery Practitioner / Early Years Educator (Qualification mandatory)

Do you recognize amazing potential in children?

Do you want to work in a unique and inspirational, ‘early years’ setting?

Are you creative, enthusiastic and keen to inspire the newest and youngest members of our Brighton community?

WRAP is centrally located, just a pebble’s throw from Brighton station. Housed in a pair of Victorian townhouses, it combines three floors of workspace and two floors of nursery provision.

Our childcare setting is beautifully designed - bright, spacious and underpinned with strong eco-credentials.

We are welcoming new children to our setting every week. We will soon grow out of our current space and have plans for imminent expansion – increasing our capacity from 28 children to 45, so we need to add new members to our excellent team to ensure we can maintain this momentum.

“We are building an incredible team here at WRAP” Marzena Monit, WRAP’s Early Years Manager says. “Although we are a new setting, lots of the team have worked together before – some for over 8 years. Our space is unique in offering tangible support to parents; whether it be breastfeeding mothers returning to work or those who want to achieve a healthier work life balance”

If you are a qualified Early Years Educator, or you are new to childcare and want to start an exciting and rewarding career please contact Marzena Monit.
