Working in the Early Years sector
Capita Education Resourcing has an established history of working in the Early Years sector and can provide candidates for:
- Pre-school Nurseries
- Private Day Nurseries
- Community Nurseries
- Sure Start Nurseries
- Early Years Development Programmes
- Early Childhood Centres
At Capita we understand the importance of having high quality staff. That’s why we have a dedicated team within each office responsible for recruiting nursery nurses and nursery assistants.
Nursery Nurses will have completed a CACHE, BTEC or NVQ Level 3 or if overseas-trained, an equivalent and recognised qualification from their home country.
As candidates are available for same day cover, short & long-term, part-time and even permanent positions, we can offer a flexible solution to all your staffing needs.
Our Service… “One call solves it all”
We understand how stressful it is to discover first thing in the morning that you need emergency cover and that's why our offices are fully staffed by 7.15am. We’re committed to sending suitably experienced nursery nurses and classroom assistants who will best meet your requirements within one hour of your booking.
One Freephone call is all it takes to solve any staffing problem you may have. Requests can be made at anytime; our offices are open until 5.30pm, after which requests for staff can be left with our booking service. The request will be collected and processed at 7.15am the following morning.
The recruitment process
Capita Education Resourcing aims to ensure the well being of all children and staff. Before our candidates are deployed on any assignment they have already completed a rigorous vetting process, which is summarised as:
- Face-to-face, professional interview
- ID check
- Qualification check
- CRB Enhanced Disclosure check
- List 99 check
- Health check
- Reference check
- Permission to Work
Training and support
Our nursery nurses and nursery assistants arrive well prepared. All Capita staff are inducted on how to meet the challenges of supply work. You can expect them to arrive promptly and be flexible to adapt and cope with the needs of your nursery.
At Capita we are also committed to ensuring that all candidates have access to appropriate Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities. We understand that the effectiveness of all candidates is enhanced by knowledge building, training and mentoring, supported by professional resources and materials.
Candidates are informed regularly about CPD seminars and are encouraged to attend. They can also access the resource libraries in their local branch where topical and relevant material is available, together with web access and other support resources.
Capita Education Resourcing is a Quality Mark company and works hard to maintain the standards set by this quality audit. Our first priority is to ensure that the necessary checks are carried out before any applicant is accepted on our register.
The Quality Mark confirms that we have met the strict guidelines set out by the DCSF for vetting both UK and Overseas supply staff. This ensures that before any candidate is deployed to your school or nursery, Capita has carefully checked their personal background, referenced their teaching experience and ensured that they have the right knowledge, skills and attitude for supply work. The Quality Mark sets Capita apart from other agencies and highlights the care taken to find the right candidate for you.
