Nursery Nurse Current Vacancies

2009-02-12:

Demand for qualified nursery nurses is high in both private and Local Authority nurseries which there are also opportunities for working abroad.
Nursery nurses work with children from birth to approximately seven-years of age.
Although nursery nurses work mainly with healthy children, it is possible to specialise, for example, in working with children who are physically disabled or have learning difficulties or mentally health problems.
The nursery nurse is responsible for observing and monitoring children.
In some areas of the work, for example, in residential homes, shift work will be required.
Nursery nurses work in a variety of settings and conditions.
Nursery nurses may also choose to work as nannies and maternity nannies.
Qualified and experienced nursery nurses may set up and run their own nurseries; experienced full-time nursery nurses normally start at 9,000 - 14,500 and those employed in senior posts such as nursery management can earn 15,000 - 20,000. (Permalink)
