Recently at Class Recruitment, we have seen more interest from candidates asking about nursery work for nannies in Bristol.
This is a trend where more professional nannies are seeking work within nurseries in Bristol and is something we can assist with.
Here we look at a few reasons why this trend is possibly happening and provide a bit of support.
If you are someone (or know someone) who is seeking entry into a rewarding career within Early Years education or in nursery work across Bristol, consider the following:
Many of our nannies are considering important factors such as job security, flexibility, professional development, and workplace perks.
The hours worked as a nanny are often long covering mornings, full days, and evenings to accommodate parents' working patterns, often with little flexibility.
Nurseries, however, offer more flexibility with shift times such as 8-5 or 9-6 and can be from two to five days per week (or term-time only) depending on the availability of the candidate.
Nursery work for nannies in Bristol can provide more job security as it is common for many employed nannies must look for new positions every few years as the younger children start school.
This can either massively reduce the hours of the nanny, or mean the nanny must find a new family to work with to get a full-time income.
Nurseries in Bristol welcome a new cohort of children each year which brings with it new relationships, fresh challenges, a mix of personalities, and new learning opportunities.
Many of the nannies we have recently spoken with have been thinking about their long-term plans and professional development.
Whilst traditional nannying roles require a range of childcare skills, there is often a lack of current CPD.
Nurseries in Bristol can offer on-the-job training such as Paediatric first aid, Prevent Training, Safeguarding and updates around the EYFS as well as documenting children’s learning through learning journals, assessments, and training around best practices.
Our Early Years recruitment consultants in Clifton are hearing that many nannies are finding they miss working with other adults as part of a team, as well as the networking that teamwork provides for future job opportunities.
In addition to this, nannies looking to work in nursery settings in various BS postcodes enjoy several benefits in the Early Years sector.
Bristol nurseries provide a contract which can also offer additional considerations such as holiday leave, sick leave, pension, and payroll completed in-house for them dealing with things like TAX and NI deductions.
Therefore, nursery work for nannies in Bristol is currently offering an attractive option for career progression as well as opportunities to advance a career within the Early Years, education, or other related careers.
