One of our recruitment consultants was asked today 'What qualities are needed to work in Early Years settings?' and we thought it would make a really useful blog topic for candidates.
Having been a specialist Early Years recruitment agency providing candidates with nursery jobs since 2009, we pride ourselves on knowing what nursery settings require.
That also includes providing the very best candidates for nursery roles across the South West, to ensure that our clients and candidates are both happy.
When it comes to working in Early Years settings in Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Weston, Clevedon, Portishead, Bath, Exeter and Taunton the main qualities we see in our candidates are:
Patience
Organisational skills
Positive attitude
Enthusiasm
Communication skills
In addition, we usually ask for an Early Years qualification as well as a passion for working with children.
We would expect to see evidence of previous experience to highlight a candidate's desire to work in the Early Years sector across the South West.
Working in the Early Years sector is demanding and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
Our candidates give us consistent feedback about how much they enjoy working with us and the settings we provide for them across the region.
Working in nursery settings can be either full-time, part-time or temporary contracts, and we cater for our candidates' requirements when placing them.
