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.

    This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate Nursery Practitioner to join a professional and supportive team where you can build on your experience and make a real difference to children’s early development.

    The setting provides a welcoming environment for children, with a strong focus on learning through play, individual development and providing high-quality care. You will be working alongside an experienced team and helping to create a positive environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to learn.

    The Role

    As a Nursery Practitioner, you will be responsible for supporting the children throughout their day, helping with activities, learning and development while maintaining a safe and caring environment.

    You will work closely with other practitioners and the wider nursery team, building positive relationships with children and helping them reach their individual milestones.

    • A caring, patient and enthusiastic approach
    • Good communication and teamwork skills
    • A genuine passion for working with children
    • Reliable and committed individuals who want to build their experience within early years

    The application process

    If you are interested in the Nursery Practitioner role in Saffron Walden, you will first have an interview with me at TeacherActive.

    If successful at this stage, I will then put you forward for an interview with the nursery and support you throughout the process.

    What you can expect from TeacherActive:

    • 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
    • Market-leading rates of pay
    • TeacherActive Referral Scheme – Receive up to £100 when you refer a friend (Terms and Conditions apply)
