Further Information
Working with Jo and her brilliant team, we are looking to recruit a new Early Years Practitioner to plan activities, create exciting ways to meet the needs of families with under 5s, and work with families on an individual basis to give children the “very best start.”

Ideal candidates are passionate, hard working and dedicated to helping to improve the lives of children and their families?

Salary is £22369 per annum with working hours Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 4.30pm and Friday 8.30am to 4pm.

Main base is Prudhoe Family Hub, with outreach delivery.

As you would expect, we are looking for self motivated and responsible applicants, with good communication skills. You will enjoy working as part of a team, but are equally as happy when you use your own initiative and work independently to manage your commitments.

A level 3 Childcare qualification is essential, as is a good depth of understanding and knowledge of child development, with a focus on early years.

Experience of working with parents is a must.

We provide a full induction programme to our innovative approaches and to help you find your feet quickly. We encourage and value your personal and professional development, and you will be joining an enthusiastic, welcoming and committed team who are keen for you to succeed.

We have some outstanding benefits to offer you, including:

25 days annual leave plus public/bank holidays, rising to 30 days after 5 years of service (pro rata for part-time employees)

Automatic enrolment into the Local Government Pension Scheme

Flexi scheme – up to 2 days flexible leave available per month (pro rata for part-time employees)

Local government discount schemes available to all employees with offers at local businesses along with various national brands

Commitment to work/life balance offering flexibility through various schemes including job sharing, home working, flexible working, term-time only, and compressed hours

Car leasing scheme

We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We operate a guaranteed interview scheme for disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria. If you wish to notify us of your eligibility for this scheme, please email hrrecruitment@northumberland.gov.uk with your name and the job title you have applied for and one of the recruitment team will ensure this is factored into the shortlisting process and kept anonymous.
