Are you a South African Early Years Educator/Teacher with interest in joining Tops Day Nurseries in the UK? We are looking for you!

Early Years Educator/Teacher – 3 year visa sponsorship contract

We are looking for someone that has a warm, smiling face that makes every child feel special. Support our ethos in providing a brighter, more sustainable future for children. Able to read stories upside down, with at least 10 interruptions per page. Possessing the skills required to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of the utmost importance.

Willing to provide a stimulating early year’s education and support the next generation to learn and develop… whilst having lots of fun!

You will preferably have a little quirkiness – If a child request that you be an astronaut navigating a rocket ship full of dinosaurs through out of space, you will be the best astronaut you can be! You must be prepared to have lots of fun in the workplace. Laughter is something you can expect to engage in for a large part of your working days.Must not be afraid to dance in the rain, make mud pies, build sandcastles in the snow and explore the local environment.

Finally, you must be prepared to feel loved, special and important to many young children and their families. There is no better feeling than watching that tiny 3 month old baby grow in to a well-educated pre-schooler preparing for big school!
