Support with recruitment

We recognise that it can be difficult to find the right level of skills, experience and qualification to fill a particular post; this is why we offer an advertising service for your early years and childcare job vacancies.

What sort of jobs can be advertised?

We can advertise job roles which involve direct contact with children (ie: roles based in out of school or holiday clubs, pre-school / nursery practitioner, pre-school leader or supervisor etc). We can also advertise roles such as cleaner, cook and administrator – providing the post is to support the early years and childcare setting.

We can only place adverts for posts in schools that relate to early years and out of school childcare.

• On the Devon jobs website. This website attracts thousands of jobseekers each month and is a great place to make sure your vacancy is seen by the right people. Jobseekers are also able to register to receive email job alerts as soon as a vacancy is advertised which matches their search criteria
• Social media: we can advertise your vacancies through our Facebook page and on our Instagram page.
• We will also promote your advert via our weekly Digest newsletter

How much does it cost?

The cost to place an advert is £25 per advert (including VAT).If you are registered as being exempt from VAT for charitable purposes the fee required is £20.
