Position Overview & Specifications

Ever dreamed of being a Puffin?

· Can you turn a frown upside down?

· Can you pretend to eat Playdough, and drink invisible tea?

· Do you have the ability to make every child feel that they are the only one you have ever wanted to play with, even in a group?

· Could you read a story using character voices whilst being constantly interrupted?

· You will know that the most important part of your uniform is the smile!

· You know that a good day at work sees you going home covered in glitter, paint and goodness only knows what else!

· You understand the importance of play in a child’s development, and the influence that you have on their learning.

· You love the feeling of seeing a child move through the nursery and emerge ready for school, due in part to the skills you have taught them.

· And the list goes on….

If this sound like you, then a career at Puffins of Exeter could be ideal.
