This is a great opportunity for a qualified, experienced educator who wants to move away from a big, impersonal setting into a service where staff know every child and family by name, and where the team genuinely enjoys coming to work together.
About The Service
This is a small, welcoming childcare provider based in Midleton, made up of three connected services - Creche, Preschool and School Age - so staff have real opportunities to broaden their experience, develop new skills and grow within the company over time.
