Your work will involve helping more experienced staff to look after and supervise young children.
You will also prepare materials and learning resources and observe groups as part of your ongoing studies for a Level 3 qualification.
You could be working in a private nursery, a local authority childcare centre or a nursery attached to a school, college, university, hospital or other establishment.
