An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and committed Early Years Practitioner to join our Nursery at Hatherop Castle School, a highly regarded co‑educational day and boarding prep school set in the heart of the Cotswolds. Hatherop Castle School is proud to be part of the Wishford Schools group, combining a strong individual identity with the support and shared expertise of a forward‑thinking family of schools.
Our Nursery provides year‑round care and education for children aged 2 to 4 years. We are seeking candidates who can demonstrate a strong track record of delivering high‑quality teaching and care within the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Applicants should ideally hold a Childcare Diploma or Certificate at Level 3, though candidates who are working towards this qualification, or who would benefit from training, are also encouraged to apply. For the right candidate, we can offer the opportunity to train while working through an apprenticeship scheme, with full support to achieve a Level 3 qualification.
Ideal start date is July 2026, but could be as late as September.
Hatherop Castle School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
