Job description

Love working with little learners but want flexibility around your schedule?
GSL Education is looking for a Level 3 Qualified Nursery Nurse to join our supply team, supporting a friendly and well run nursery in Chelmsford. This is a brilliant opportunity to enjoy variety, flexibility, and rewarding early years work — without being tied to one permanent role (unless you want to be!).

About the Role

As a Supply Nursery Nurse, you’ll step into a welcoming nursery environment and play a key role in supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing. Whether you’re covering short-term absences or longer placements, you’ll be making a real difference every day.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting children aged 0–5 in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating setting

  • Delivering fun, play-based learning activities in line with the EYFS framework

  • Encouraging children’s social, emotional, and physical development

  • Supporting daily routines such as meals, nap times, and outdoor play

  • Working as part of a friendly team to maintain a happy, well-organised nursery

What We’re Looking For

  • Level 3 Early Years qualification (essential)

  • Recent experience in a nursery or early years setting

  • A warm, energetic, and caring approach

  • Confidence working in new environments

  • A genuine passion for early childhood development

  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)

Why Choose Supply with GSL Education?

  • Total flexibility – work the days that suit you

  • Competitive hourly pay

  • Opportunity to gain experience in a lovely Chelmsford nursery

  • Support from a dedicated consultant who knows early years inside out

  • A great way to trial settings if you’re considering a long-term role

Why You’ll Love This Role

✔ No two days are the same
✔ Build experience without long-term pressure
✔ Be part of nurturing environments that value your skills
✔ Perfect for work–life balance


If you’re a Level 3 Nursery Nurse looking for flexible, rewarding work in Chelmsford, we’d love to hear from you.
