Deputy Manager – Early Years

TN23 Area, Kent

£33,000 - £35,000 per annum

Full Time | Permanent

Lead, Inspire and Make a Lasting Difference

Revive EYFS Recruitment are proud to be recruiting on behalf of a warm, community-focused early years setting in the TN23 area for an experienced and passionate Deputy Manager.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Senior Practitioner, Room Leader or existing Deputy Manager who is ready to take on a rewarding leadership role within a supportive and child-centred environment.

Working closely alongside an experienced and long-standing Manager, you'll help shape the daily life of the nursery, support a dedicated team and play an important role in ensuring every child receives exceptional care, learning opportunities and encouragement to thrive.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This setting has built an excellent reputation through its commitment to nurturing children, supporting families and creating a positive culture where staff feel valued and respected.

With a close-knit team, stable leadership and a genuine focus on staff wellbeing, this is an environment where you can develop professionally while making a meaningful impact every day.

The Role

As Deputy Manager, you'll combine hands-on practice with leadership responsibilities, supporting both the operational and educational aspects of the nursery.

You'll work alongside the Manager to maintain high standards across the provision, mentor and support colleagues, contribute to staff development and ensure the nursery continues to provide a safe, stimulating and inspiring environment for children aged 2–5 years.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys leading by example, building strong relationships and helping others succeed.

About the Setting

The nursery is a well-established, community-focused provision caring for 32 children across two rooms. Supported by a dedicated team of six staff members, the setting offers a welcoming atmosphere where collaboration, consistency and positive relationships are at the heart of daily practice.

Children benefit from a nurturing environment that promotes curiosity, confidence and school readiness, while staff enjoy a supportive culture that encourages professional growth and teamwork.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an experienced Early Years professional with strong knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding requirements and high-quality nursery practice.

You'll be confident supporting and motivating colleagues, building positive relationships with families and contributing to the smooth running of the setting. Previous experience in a senior leadership capacity within an Early Years environment will be highly advantageous.

A relevant Level 3 Early Years qualification or above is essential.

What's On Offer

* £33,000 - £33,300 per annum

* Full-time, permanent position

* Supportive and experienced leadership team

* Ongoing CPD and fully funded training opportunities

* Genuine opportunities for progression and career development

* Friendly and collaborative team culture

* Well-established setting with an excellent local reputation

* Opportunity to make a real impact on children's lives and staff development

Recruitment Process

The interview process consists of an initial Teams interview, followed by a face-to-face interview and a paid trial session within the setting.

If you're an experienced Early Years leader looking for a role where your skills, experience and passion will be genuinely valued, we'd love to hear from you.
