How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

As a Nursery Assistant, you'll have the flexibility to choose when you work while gaining experience in a variety of welcoming and supportive nursery environments.

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking for flexibility, whether you're balancing family commitments, studying, or simply want to choose the days you work.

    As your dedicated Early Years Consultant, I will personally support you throughout the recruitment process. We'll begin with a registration meeting to discuss your experience, availability and the type of work you're looking for. Once registered, I'll match you with Nursery Assistant opportunities that suit your preferences and availability.

    In return, you can expect to receive:
    • A dedicated team of consultants available 24/7 to support you through the easy onboarding process
    • Guaranteed Payment Scheme (Terms and Conditions apply)
    • CPD courses and certificates through the My-Progression channel
