Full-Time Vacancies

MANCHESTER + travel: Trained, Rota Nanny (3 children: 10 months - 5.5 years)   Feb start (driver essential with own car) ££££

Role: Rota Nanny (1 week on/off)

Location: Manchester

Children: 3 children, 10 months - 5.5 years

Start date: ASAP February

Special requirements: Formal training highly desirable (eg: Norland), previous experience caring for 3-charges on a 24 hour on-call/Rota basis + confident driver (+ own car required)

We are seeking a fun, energetic and trained Rota Nanny to join a staffed household in Manchester to support our clients with their 3 children (10 months - 5.5 years). The other Rota Nanny is Norland trained.

= Working Hours: this is a 24/7 week on/off Rota with Wednesday as the handover day, and the new nanny must have flexibility to align with family travel when travelling (mixture of EU & international/long-haul). 

The new nanny must have experience with babies, toddlers and school-age children, and our clients are favoring candidates who have spent a couple of years in previous, similar roles. This is a busy position with the two youngest in part-time nursery, and the family's eldest is in full-time school, so the new nanny must be a great team player, super-organised and able hit the ground running to ensure slick and proactive household. This role involves working in conjunction with the parents and rota counter-part, with the family wanting equality and balance within their nanny team. 

The family's schedule is scheduled ahead of time but occasionally plans can change last minute, so a flexible and adaptable applicant who wouldn't be fazed by this is super-important.

As a mixed sole/shared care role, the new candidate needs to be able to read the room and be a good team player, able to work well within a more relaxed, yet staffed household (PA, housekeepers + security). It is also very important to our clients that their new nanny is highly professional, able to discretely safeguard the family's privacy.

A confident driver is required but the candidate must be happy to use their own vehicle - the family will pay for petrol costs getting to/from work and whilst on duty.

This role would best-suit an easy-going and calm individual with a more gentle, tempered demeanor. Our clients are also prioritising candidates with longevity in previous appointments, as they would like their team to be with them long-term. A candidate used to working within a Rota arrangement is also helpful, as well as professional experience caring for and traveling with multiple children. 

Nicely-presented private top floor bedroom with own ensuite bathroom is available for when on duty, with a competitive salary on offer. 

First round interviews are taking place now for a February start.
