Nursery Nurse – Tiny Humans Need You (and so do we!)

Start: ASAP | Contract: Flexible supply (you run the show) | Pay: £13.68 – £14.50 per hour

Why this role matters

Because tiny people have big personalities—and someone needs to guide them without losing their mind (or their shoes). As a Nursery Nurse, you’ll be their hero, confidante, snack opener, and occasional dragon-slayer. Your job? Help them grow, learn, and stay safe (preferably without glitter in your hair).

What you’ll do

  • Turn playtime into learning without them noticing.

  • Create a nurturing space where chaos is gently managed.

  • Keep an eye on their progress (and their sticky fingers).

  • Be part of a team that laughs, sings, and occasionally steps on LEGO.

    What you’ll need

  • A Level 2 Nursery Nurse qualification (Level 3 if you’re feeling fancy).

  • Experience with children in a nursery or similar setting

  • A solid understanding of safeguarding and a real passion for child development.

  • An Enhanced DBS check (or be ready to get one—we’ve got the forms, don’t worry).

    What you’ll get

  • Flexible hours—because life happens, and sometimes you need a lie-in.

  • Weekly pay, no mysterious umbrella deductions.

  • Training opportunities—because even pros can learn new tricks.

  • A dedicated Account Manager who understands you're a human, not a robot.

    Send us your CV and a little note about your superpowers with children. We’ll be in touch faster than a toddler can say “why?” five times in a row.

    Excell Supply – because kids don’t come with manuals, but great Nursery Nurses make it look easy.

    We take child welfare seriously (jokes aside), so safeguarding is top priority

Neurodiversity in Robotics Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Robotics is where software, hardware & the physical world collide. From warehouse automation & surgical robots to drones, cobots & autonomous vehicles, robots must sense, think & act reliably in messy real environments. To build that kind of technology, you need people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too chaotic” for engineering. In reality, many traits that made school or traditional offices hard are exactly what robotics teams need: intense focus on complex systems, pattern-spotting in sensor data, creative problem-solving when hardware misbehaves. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring robotics careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a robotics context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to key robotics roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in robotics – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.
