Job Description
Take the Lead as Deputy Manager with iStep Learning

Are you a qualified and professional early years leader with a passion for delivering exceptional care and education? iStep Learning is seeking a dedicated Deputy Manager to join our expanding nursery team.

In this pivotal role, you'll work closely with the Nursery Manager to ensure high-quality care for children aged 3 months to 5 years, stepping up to oversee daily operations in their absence.

We're searching for a proactive leader with strong knowledge of OFSTED guidelines (Statutory and Non-Statutory frameworks) who is eager to support every child's development and foster a fun, nurturing environment. From singing songs to going on bear hunts and getting messy with arts and crafts, iStep Learning is a place where work is play!

Operational Leadership: Support the Nursery Manager in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the nursery, maintaining the highest standards of care and education.
Team Support: Lead and inspire practitioners, fostering a positive and collaborative team environment.
Compliance: Ensure the nursery operates in line with OFSTED requirements and all safeguarding, health, and safety policies.
Parent Partnerships: Build strong relationships with parents, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns.
Child Development: Support the planning and delivery of tailored learning opportunities that encourage every child to thrive.

This is your chance to step into a leadership role and make a meaningful impact while advancing your career in the early years sector.
