Centre Assistant

A Centre assistant works as part of a team ensuring that the building is a bright, welcoming hygienic space, which is well resourced and safely managed. The Centre Assistant supports the Nursery team throughout the day and plays a pivotal role at mealtimes. We are excited to find a new team member to join our experienced team for the next exciting phase of our development. This will be a great opportunity for you to be part of our vision in being a beacon of outstanding childcare and education in the Local Authority.

You are an enthusiastic individual with a passion for working with young children and taking care of their hygiene and safety needs. You will be a good flexible and dynamic team player. Any experience or qualification up to level 2 in working with children and young people welcome but not essential and with a willingness to develop, train and progress. Be an inspirational role model to children and be passionate about team working. Be a good communicator. Be an advocate for equal opportunities.

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work - the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We'll be celebrating all this and more as the "rebel borough" when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey's people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

Our benefits package includes a leave entitlement up to 27 days + bank holidays, potential hybrid working opportunities, health and wellbeing support, a generous local government pension scheme and a range of discount schemes across leisure and culture that provide both financial and money-saving discounts.
