If you are an experienced Early Years Practitioner with supervisory or management experience and you are looking for something new, we might be the next step for you.

You will have an Assistant Manager and Lead Practitioners supporting you. You will be a key part of the overall management team of the nursery.

This team gets great support, training and career development. As people moving into these positions can be from nurseries where they have been at for some time, we offer a smooth as possible transition to Red Bus with great onboarding and induction planning. We have lovely supporting staff in our teams and we can take the risk out of that move for you.

Red Bus has an enviable reputation with the local schools at current settings for Red Bus new starters, we're very proud of that ! We have a very large area with amazing gardens, beautiful resources compliment the environment.
