What we are looking for in you

Do you have a caring nature and a smile that brightens every mealtime? YMCA Dulverton Group is looking for someone who can support our nursery team with preparing tasty, nutritious snacks and lunches, and step in to cover staff breaks. Whether you already know your way around Food Standards Agency requirements or are eager to learn, you’ll help create a safe, welcoming environment where little ones can refuel and thrive. 

In early years education, we don’t just teach—we nourish, comfort, and create spaces where children can thrive.

When you join the early years profession, you’re not just stepping into a nursery—you’re stepping into a place where tomorrow’s world begins. Whether you’re preparing meals, sharing stories over lunch, or offering a reassuring smile, you’re helping children grow in confidence and curiosity.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present.
It’s not just a job. It’s a calling...

So if you believe in the power of care, the magic of mealtimes, and the importance of every child’s day—come be part of their story. Your future career is waiting at YMCA Dulverton Group.

If you embody these qualities, and are ready to embark on a journey of learning and enrichment, we welcome your application.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and young people. We follow a safer recruitment process, all appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check and are required to provide two suitable references.
