Nursery Practitioner / Nursery Assistant

We have an exciting opportunity at Cwtsh y Clos Nursery, Llanarthne. We are searching for someone that is kind, loving, motivated and committed to join our work family.
We currently have one full time or part-time permanent position available. Nursery is open between 7:30am to 6pm but on a successful request we can work round your commitments.
NVQ level 2 in childcare (or similar) is required but ideally NVQ level 3 or higher.
Also child protection, food hygiene and first aid qualifications would be beneficial but training will be offered to obtain these if needed.

A clear criminal record is a must.

As the nursery is a Welsh setting all candidates must be able to speak and write in the Welsh language.

The nursery is set on a small holding where farm animals are seen and cared for daily. We do lots of outdoor play which makes the most of the resources on our doorstep. You don't need to be a farmer to work at the nursery but a love for the outdoors is key!
