Early Years

We are early years recruitment specialists…

At Willing Care Recruitment, we are committed to not only filling your jobs but also finding the best possible candidate to suit you and your business! We focus on diversity, inclusion and finding the next generation of childcare professionals as well as existing professionals seeking the next step in their childcare career. We apply complete commitment in filling the roles we take on, no matter the level. Our approach is two-fold, we work to fill roles with the candidate’s career in mind and the benefit to your business at heart.

Areas we cover

Here at Willing Care Recruitment, we are currently focussed on the Early Years Sector of the Childcare & Education Industry. This will not always be the case, so keep an eye out for additional sectors in the future! Equally, if you have a requirement in a sector that is not a key focus right now, please do still get in touch – it may be your vacancy that is the catalyst for us opening our next sector! The Early Years Sectors we focus on and provide expertise in are day nurseries, pre-schools, play groups, holiday clubs, after school clubs and children’s centres.

We understand that each of these settings have a different purpose and therefore staffing requirements will also differ. For example, at a day nursery, staff are required to care for and educate children from six weeks old, whereas a preschool is aimed at children not yet old enough to start primary school. Holiday clubs and after school clubs will be better suited for candidates seeking a part time position with focus more on playtime activities.
