Although Class Recruitment has been placing Early Years candidates in permanent roles across the city since 2009, we also help workers to secure temporary jobs in Bristol nurseries.
Some nursery workers and Early Years course graduates prefer to look for temporary nursery jobs in Bristol nurseries instead of permanent positions.
There are many benefits for Early Years staff when it comes to accepting temporary jobs in Bristol nurseries, including:
Temporary nursery jobs are flexible
Temporary nursery jobs in Bristol can offer flexibility, whether in a part-time or full-time capacity. Short-term, temporary contracts suit some workers.
We also help candidates who may have recently left a long-term or full-time position in an Early Years setting and who are looking for another nursery, but are not sure where they want to commit to working longer term.
Temporary jobs in Bristol nurseries are also well-suited to candidates who have completed an Early Years Foundation Course and who want guaranteed hours (subject to certain Terms & Conditions) with the option of placements in different nurseries.
Temporary work, guaranteed hours
Temporary work doesn't mean temporary hours. We treat our candidates differently and give them consistency and stability in a fluid job market.
Class gives candidates guaranteed weekly work, so if they are available for three days per week and we are unable to place them in a nursery for three days per week, they will still get that weekly pay.
This commitment to candidates enables them to work across a range of different Early Years settings in Bristol, with stable and fixed weekly wages.
Training & Holiday Pay
Candidates working in temporary jobs across Bristol nurseries receive training and a basic level of Holiday Pay where relevant when on our books.
We firmly believe Early Years workers should get all the support possible.
Early Years sector experience
Students working towards an Early Years qualification can gain valuable work experience with Class in a range of different nursery settings on temporary contracts.
This gives them valuable insights into how the sector works across the city.
As part of gaining Early Years sector experience through Class, we can also confirm the number of hours worked, which can then be used to support an element of a course if several nursery placement hours are required.
The additional bonus is that candidates also get paid for all hours worked.
Getting a foot in the door
Another really important way in which we assist candidates looking for temporary jobs in Bristol nurseries is by guiding them on interview techniques and preparation, which can include providing them with sample interview questions and fielding their responses.
