A bit about the role.

As an Early Years Educator in our HMP Mother and Baby Unit, you’ll have the opportunity to support mothers as they build confidence, develop their parenting skills and create positive beginnings for their babies.

Using the Solihull Approach Parenting Programme, you’ll provide gentle guidance, encouragement and high-quality care in a role that is both rewarding and meaningful.

And we’ll support your development too, with baby massage training and the opportunity to complete a Level 4 Children and Family Practitioner qualification.

If you’re ready to take the next step into family support and want a career where you can truly make a difference, this could be the opportunity for you.

What you do could make a difference.

In the role as Early years educator, you will:

  • Provide high-quality care, support and fun experiences for babies and their mothers.
  • Help mothers build confidence through play, routines, baby massage and parenting activities.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with mothers, working together to meet their baby’s needs.
  • Create a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment where every baby can thrive.
  • Be a trusted key person, supporting development, safeguarding and wellbeing while keeping families at the heart of everything you do.

Let’s talk about you.

  • Hold a Level 3 Early Years qualification that meets DfE requirements, or a level 2 qualifications and be willing to complete a level 3 qualification within two years.
  • Experience working with children aged 0–3, with a good understanding of their development and needs.
  • Knowledge of safeguarding, SEN, inclusion and the EYFS.
  • Good communication and organisational skills, including experience with observations, planning and digital systems.
  • A willingness to learn and develop, including completing training such as Paediatric First Aid, Baby Massage and Solihull Parenting.

Why Action for Children?

Every child should have a loving home, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn - the support to cope with life’s challenges. But too many children don’t. By bringing your passion and unique skills and experience, you’ll help us change that where it really matters.

We've been driven by love to take action for children for over 150 years, giving them the protection and practical help they need. A lot’s changed since 1869. But what children really need, hasn’t. So as long as children need us, we’ll be here.

Will you join us?

Our dedicated team provides high-quality nursery care, stimulating experiences and evidence-based parenting support, working closely with Family Support Practitioners and other professionals to give every baby the best possible start.

It’s a special opportunity to use your early years skills in a role where what you do can make a lasting difference to a family’s future.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
