Are you ready for a new adventure in childcare?

Do you want to continue your studies whilst gaining valuable hands on experience and a level 3 qualification?

If the answer is yes then read on……….

We believe a career in childcare is extremely rewarding and what better way to start this journey than as part of the NCEA team.

As an Apprentice Early Years Practitioner you will join our specialist apprenticeship programme which will provide you with hands on experience across some of our Early Year’s settings (Ashington/Newbiggin/Lynemouth) as well as your designated study time.

With the support of your mentor you will learn the skills you need to qualify as a confident experienced practitioner.

What we are looking for:

You must have an uplifting personality that will make every child smile, each and every day and a passion to provide the best care and education possible.

Throughout the course of the day you will have many varied roles;

If a child requests you be a Disney character, you will be the best character you can be.

The ability to sing in front of tiny humans is essential, however it’s not necessary to be in tune.

Being vigilant is of the utmost importance.

You must have the ability to read a story, upside down, with at least 5 interruptions per page.

And finally, you must be prepared to engage in lots of fun activities and be prepared to get messy.

The apprenticeship term is for 18 months, working 37 hours per week, term time plus 3 additional days.

If this sounds like the way you would like to start your career we would love to receive your application.
