Immediate Starts Available | Flexible Day-to-Day Work | Long-Term Opportunities
If you enjoy working with young children and love being part of those early “lightbulb moments”, this could be a great fit.
TeacherActive is currently working with a number of welcoming Early Years settings across Ammanford, supporting nurseries and childcare environments that focus on giving children a safe, happy, and engaging start to their learning journey.
We’re looking for Nursery Assistants / Early Years Practitioners who are confident, caring, and ready to jump into day-to-day or longer-term roles.
What the role is really like
No two days are the same in Early Years — and that’s part of the appeal.
You might be:
Helping children settle into the nursery environment and feel secure
Supporting play-based learning activities
Encouraging communication, social skills, and independence
Working closely with staff to support routines and development
Keeping a calm, positive, and nurturing atmosphere throughout the day
Supporting children aged 0–5 in line with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
It’s hands-on, active, and genuinely rewarding work.
What you’ll need
You don’t need to be overly complicated or tick every box — but this is what helps you succeed:
Experience working with young children in Early Years or childcare settings
A caring, patient, and positive approach
A good understanding of how children learn and develop
A Level 3 Childcare qualification (or equivalent) is preferred but not essential for all roles
A “can-do” attitude and willingness to get stuck in
What you’ll get in return
Hourly pay between £14.24 – £14.80 per hour
Flexible work (day-to-day, short-term, or longer placements)
Free CPD and training through MyProgression
Support from a dedicated education consultant
£100 referral bonus scheme
Opportunities across a range of Early Years settings in Ammanford
Why people enjoy Early Years work
Early Years is one of the most rewarding areas in education because you can see progress quickly — whether that’s a child learning to communicate better, gaining confidence, or developing new skills through play.
