Are you a compassionate and reliable individual looking to make a real difference in a child’s life?

As a key member of our Early Years team, you will support the learning, development, and care of our youngest children. You’ll play a central role in creating a nurturing, stimulating and safe environment where every child can thrive.

We are looking for a kind, enthusiastic and reliable individual who has a genuine passion for working with young children. You don’t need to hold formal childcare qualifications — what matters most is your commitment to creating a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive.

Previous experience working with children, either in a voluntary or paid capacity, is desirable. A positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work well as part of a team are key.

Rowdown Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS and Prohibition Order check will be required before starting.

Rowdown Primary School is part of FACT Trust, a small Croydon-based multi-academy trust with inclusion at its core. We are continually striving to be an inclusive employer, and are committed to building a diverse workforce where everyone feels valued, respected, and able to thrive.
