Koru Kids Hiring for Childminder/Early Educator Job at East Dulwich, England , UK Full Time

We’re looking for a warm, kind, and reliable person to become an outstanding childminder for a family in East Dulwich. You’ll work from your own home and earn £30-£40,000 a year.

Becoming a childminder means helping raise a new generation of kind, confident, inquisitive kids. A childminder plays a major role in those all-important first steps towards learning and exploration. It is a truly rewarding job for someone who loves children and has a passion for helping them thrive.

The role is a minimum of four days per week, usually 8am-6pm (but you can work five days if you prefer). We’ll cover all the training costs for you to become a registered childminder (worth £3,000). You’ll work from your own home and our early educators typically earn £30-40,000 a year–but we can set you on a career path to earning more. Crucially, you can also have your own children home with you, saving childcare costs too!

Childminding is not the same as nannying – a childminder runs their business from their own home and requires more training to register. Nannies work in the home of the family. You can check for open nanny roles on the Koru Kids site.

The benefits:

We cover all your training costs
We can get you qualified in as little as 8 weeks without any Ofsted hassle
You’ll work from the comfort of your own home
You can care for your own children at the same time, if you have them
Once you’re up and running, we’ll take care of all the admin, billing, policies, insurance etc–leaving you to focus on the most important thing – the kids!
You can also access a £500 interest free loan to help set up your home

More on pay:

Caring for 3 pre-school children all day, 4 days a week, you’ll earn around £35,000. If you work 5 days per week you can earn more.

A day in the life of a Koru Kids Early Educator:

• You’ll spend the day looking after three pre-school children, so every morning you’ll welcome them into your home

• Rain or shine, you’ll set off on an adventure in your local community, exploring green spaces and learning from nature

• After lunch and a nap (for the kids!) at home, you’ll spend the afternoon learning through play–whether that’s messy play, arts and crafts, or storytelling on the carpet

• You’ll have all the support you need to market and fill your places, manage parents, collect fees and manage your business from Koru Kids, so you can finish the day when the children leave.

You’ll love this role if:

You’ve worked with children before as a volunteer, babysitter, nanny or au pair
You’re a trained childcare professional with experience in nurseries or schools
You’ve raised your own children and miss the buzz of family life

You want to look after your own children while you work

What is a childminder?

Childminders are a hugely popular form of childcare. Sitting somewhere in between nannies and nurseries, the small adult-to-child ratio (you’ll care for a maximum of three children) and personalised setting (you’ll operate out of your own home) make childminders really desirable to parents.

Every childminder in the UK needs to be registered, either with Ofsted or an Ofsted-approved childminder agency. And, to secure your registration, you have to have a background check, a reference check, and be checked with social services. This strict vetting process is to ensure the children in your care are safe. If you’re successful in applying for this role, we will take you through this process.

Childminding is a truly rewarding career. You can take the leap, knowing we’re behind you every step of the way. Fill in our simple application form today!
