Nursery Manager

Location

Job description

Robert Gordon’s College is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic and progressively minded individual to support and lead our experienced team of Early Years Practitioners and Support Workers as the Manager of our Nursery provision.  

If you are an experienced Senior EYP who wants to take that next step in your career, or a nursery manager who is looking for a new opportunity or challenge, this may be the role for you.  

With the support of the Deputy Head of Junior School, and the wider school support, the successful applicant will:

• Have overall day to day management responsibility;
• Maintain a caring, safe and nurturing environment where children feel confident, valued and encouraged to flourish; 
• Organise, undertake and manage the tasks required to plan and deliver an Early Years programme that is balanced, flexible and of a high quality in order to support play and learning;
• Promote positive relationships with parents, children and colleagues;
• Provide professional support and training to the Early Years Staff;  
• Ensure the nursery provision continues to strive to be a sector-leading example of care and education in an early years setting

It is essential that applicants have relevant experience of working in a Childcare setting at a promoted level and be registered with the SSSC at Practitioner level or above.  The Nursery Manager will fulfil the role of Registered Manager with the SSSC and so applicants must also hold, or be working towards achieving the appropriate qualification to maintain this registration.

At RGC, we provide a broad range of benefits in addition to the salary remuneration you will receive.  Currently, the benefits provided to employees include:

• Preferential parking rates at the Bon Accord Centre car parks;

• Company sickness absence pay;
• A funded flu jab programme;
• Access to a free and confidential Employee Assistance Programme;
• Access to free, confidential and independent Financial Advice; and
