- Coach nursery leaders and teams through on\-site visits, virtual sessions, and follow\-up support
- Create practical training materials, guides, resources, and learning tools
- Monitor training attendance, engagement, and effectiveness, providing additional coaching where needed
- Partner closely with the Compliance team to address recurring risks and network\-wide development priorities
- Support nursery teams with regulatory inspection readiness where required
- Stay current with Early Years developments, regulatory expectations, and adult learning best practice

- Experience delivering engaging face\-to\-face and virtual learning
- The confidence to coach, challenge, and support nursery leaders and teams
- Strong facilitation, communication, and presentation skills
- The ability to translate complex information into practical, easy\-to\-use learning
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly to nursery locations
- Experience delivering accredited or formally assessed training
- Experience supporting multiple nursery locations or a multi\-site Early Years organisation
- Experience developing learning materials or structured training programmes
- Previous involvement in nursery improvement or regulatory inspection readiness

You’ll join a growing Early Years organisation where learning and development has a direct impact on the quality of practice across our nursery network. You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with nursery teams, influence how learning is delivered, and see the results of your work in real settings.
