Thank you for taking the time to read this pack in considering if this is the role for you. If you are energetic, dynamic, dedicated and passionate about Early Years Education and Care, suitably qualified and have leadership experience in the field I would love to hear from you. This is an exciting time for Waterton Pre-Schools as we open our second setting. You will work alongside me and be part of the development from the start; designing and creating the learning environment and recruiting your team.
