Senior Room Leader
Nursery school in Bristol, City of • Full Time
2 Mar - 31 Jul 2026
We’re looking for an experienced Early Years Educator qualified at level 3 or above to join the team as Senior Room Leader and to support the nursery manager and deputy nursery manager as the third in charge at the nursery. This is an exciting opportunity that would be perfect for someone looking progress their Early Years career into nursery management. We’re looking for an inspiring and qualified Senior Room Leader that can bring energy and passion to their work as well as supporting the nursery management team and getting the best out of the team. You’ll be a great communicator with parents, children and your team members. Who we are We set up Raised in Bristol in 2017 because we wanted to find ways to help communities to thrive and prosper in challenging times. Community spaces and buildings are under pressure due to funding cuts and we were sure that we could find a way to keep some of them open by doing business a bit differently – a social enterprise way. We run children’s nurseries in public buildings, paying market rent to the landlord, providing a resource for local working families and the youngest members of communities. Then when the nursery makes a profit, we give all of it back to the community it came from - and everyone benefits, not just the families who use the nursery.

FAQ

How is Zen different from a recruitment agency?

Zen Educate is a technology platform to connect teachers with schools directly. Agencies are an expensive middleman between schools and teachers. They have to charge high commissions because their booking procedures are largely manual and run on outdated systems. Because we run more of the process online or on your phone, we create an experience that delights schools and teachers at a fraction of the cost.

What roles do you cover?

We help Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Cover Supervisors find work. We work with all types of schools and help with short-term, long-term and permanent roles. Many of our long-term roles convert to permanent roles. We make it far easier than a traditional agency for teachers to convert temporary positions into permanent ones.

What areas do you cover?

We work with over 400 schools in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.

I don't have my documents right now. Can I still sign up?

Yes! You can sign up now and let us know what work you're looking for. You can return at any time to finish your profile and start getting bookings.

I don't have recent references, can I still sign up?

You can definitely still sign up! Once you've uploaded your CV, we'll be able to look at your experience, and help you figure out who would be best placed to act as your referees.
