Are you ready to take the next step in your early years career?

We're working with a welcoming and highly regarded nursery in Bath that's looking for a passionate Room Leader to join their team as soon as possible.

This is more than just managing a room. It's an opportunity to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore the world around them. You'll lead by example, support your colleagues, and help shape meaningful experiences that give children the very best start in life.

If you're a confident early years professional who enjoys mentoring others and making a genuine difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Room Leader, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day running of your room, ensuring every child receives the highest standard of care and education.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and supporting a dedicated team within your nursery room
• Planning and delivering engaging, play-based learning experiences in line with the EYFS framework
• Monitoring children's development and supporting their individual learning journeys
• Building positive relationships with parents and carers through regular communication
• Maintaining high standards of safeguarding, welfare, and wellbeing
• Creating an organised, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children can flourish

You'll help create a positive culture within the nursery, supporting both children and staff to thrive.

What We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

• A Level 3 Early Years qualification (or above)
• Previous experience working within a nursery or early years setting
• Leadership experience or the confidence to step into a leadership role
• A strong understanding of the EYFS framework and child development
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive, organised, and nurturing approach
• A genuine passion for supporting young children's growth and development

Most importantly, you'll bring positivity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to get involved, whether that's supporting your team or joining in with a messy play session.
