We currently have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and organised individual to join our management team in the Early Years Centre.
You will be responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the Centre by managing occupancy and availability of childcare sessions, as well as the fees/payments for childcare sessions.
You will also be the first point of contact with most families before they join our setting, so you will need to have strong verbal and written communication skills.
The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills and strong business acumen.
You should have experience in supporting the delivery of projects, managing your own time, and possess skills in marketing and administration. Additionally, you should maintain accurate records and be adaptable while using various computer software packages.
The successful candidate should be able to organise, work as part of a team, and liaise with other University departments and the general public.
Our Centre has been situated in the heart of the Highfield campus for over 40 years, offering childcare for children aged from birth to five years.
It is desirable for the successful candidate to have at least two years of experience working in an Early Years setting, and a Level 3 qualification in Early Years and Education. Alternatively, you should be interested in developing skills and obtaining a qualification in this area.
An enhanced DBS check is required for this role.
