Love working with little ones but want work that fits around your life? Or maybe you’d like flexibility now, with the option of something more consistent when it suits you. Either way, we’ve got you.

Protocol Education is working with a fantastic mix of school-based nurseries and private nurseries across Mitcham, and we’re looking for qualified Nursery Practitioners to support with flexible daily cover. Alongside ad-hoc days, there are also longer-term bookings available for those who enjoy routine and consistency in one setting.

Why people love working this way
  • Flexibility to choose the days you want to work
  • Opportunities in both school nurseries and private nurseries
  • Daily cover if you want variety, plus long-term bookings for consistency
  • A chance to build relationships with settings you enjoy
  • Weekly pay and competitive daily rates
  • Ongoing support from a consultant who understands early years and works around you
What we’re looking for
  • A Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification (or equivalent)
  • Experience in a nursery or early years setting
  • A warm, nurturing approach and confidence with young children
  • Reliability and the ability to settle quickly into new environments
Whether you’re looking for part-time, regular long-term work, or a mix of both, we’d love to chat and find something that works for you.
