For Nannies
Whatever kind of nanny job you are looking for, Rosebud Nanny Agency can help.
Contact us today to organise a face to face interview, at your convenience – we understand how hard it can be to find time for interviews whilst still working at your current employment, and are happy to meet with you outside of normal working hours.
We also offer video registration for candidates who live further from our office, although you will need to perform an online right to work check before commencing employment (this is very simple and costs £5) to satisfy recruitment law.
To qualify for an interview with Rosebud Nanny Agency, you must:
Hold a level 3 childcare qualification (NNEB/ NVQ 3 or equivalent) and over 3 years of full time, paid employment in a childcare position
If you do not hold a qualification, you need at least 5 years of paid employment as a nanny
Show longevity in previous jobs
Hold an up to date first aid qualification
Have an enhanced DBS check registered with the online update service, or be willing to apply immediately – we can apply on your behalf
Be over 21 years of age (to satisfy our insurance)
Have at least 2 contactable referees - these must be recent - we require (as a minimum) references from your current employer (altough they can be contacted once a role is secured and notice given) and previous employer. If these have been shorter positions, we will also need to contact the previous role(s) too - we aim to cover at least the last 4 years of employment where possible
When we meet for your registration interview, please bring originals of the following (we will take copies to keep on record but need to verify the originals):
All relevant qualifications, eg NVQ, BTEC, NNEB (if any certificates are in a different name, we will need to see proof of the name change, eg marriage certificate)
Your first aid certificate
Your DBS check – if you do not have one that is registered with the online update service, you will need to do a new one. Rosebud Nanny Agency can process this for you, it costs around £60 for the DBS itself, with an ongoing £16 per year for the update service (Rosebud Nanny Agency does NOT charge any administrative fee for this, the cost is purely to the DBS)
Two forms of ID – passport, driving licence, birth certificate, marriage certificate
Proof of address – utility bill or bank statement, which must be dated within the last 3 months (please feel free to block any private information)
Your driving licence – you will also need to generate a code to allow us to check for any penalty points – https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence
Your Ofsted registration certificate, if you have this
Proof of nanny insurance, if held (and we recommend you do!)
Proof of your car insurance, if you have business cover
Telephone numbers and/or email addresses for 2 recent referees, including your most recent employer (if viable - if not able to contact at this stage, then the two previous employers)
Any written references you may have (we will verify these as do not accept written references alone)
At the interview, we will discuss the kind of job you are looking for, as well as go through your employment history. We will also use the interview to get to know you and learn about your interests. This will enable us to match you with the family that will best suit your personality, as well as your job requirements and your experience.
