Employer Description:Pebbles Day Nursery has been part of Naturally Curious Childcare since 2011. Currently we can look after children from three months until they leave for school after their fourth birthday. We have three main playrooms at the setting, including baby unit. Pebbles Day Nursery follows the Curiosity Approach method of teaching and learning, the nursery is filled with open end resources to inspire and make little minds inquisitive to the wider world. The homely 12 place baby room is fully equipped to deal with everything the under twos can (quite literally at times) throw at us. With staff ratios of 3:1 it’s a safe and peaceful environment that enables learning opportunities and positive relationships for all. Practitioners use what they have known about the children to plan learning invitations to entice your children covering all areas of learning such as adventurous play promoting physical development, personal, social and emotional development plus the skills to stay safe and manage appropriate risks. Provocations are provided to encourage learning opportunities and extend the children’s knowledge and understanding. Resources and equipment are often changed to promote curiosity and imagination to explore the environment around them becoming confident little people. We love to get creative with a wide range of paints, sand, water and other art materials so please dress your child for mess on a nursery day. School readiness is a key part in our early year’s environment - school readiness is known as something that a child should be achieving before starting reception. As early years educators we have an important role to play in supporting and promoting school readiness and transitions. Sometimes we feel pressure to get our children 'school ready' but most children will gain the important characteristics and skills to transaction to school within our approach. It's not all about writing their names or counting up to 10 but providing children with confidence and high self-esteem which is embedded in them through allowing them to lead their own play, become engaged, ask questions, build friendships, investigate and become independent. Do they understand how to stay safe? What acceptable behaviour is? Do they understand their actions have consequences? Will they take turns and share with one another? Can they actively learn, confidently share ideas and critically think? These are some of the vital skills that will ensure your children progress well at school and become confident learners. We, of course cover areas such as literacy and maths but in an interesting, inspiring way. Our children are all amazing, unique and individual people, so let’s allow them to learn in their own way empowering them to be creative and confident little people. Meals are enjoyed together providing socialisation and communication amongst all the children and adults. Children are encouraged to be independent, setting the table, dishing out their food and passing items along the table for their friends. Sharing foods socially with friends is an ideal way to introduce children to healthy ways of eating, and such situations will be all the more successful if the children are free to choose and access the food independently. Social learning happens throughout our meals times as children learn new vocabulary and practice skills such as turn taking, waiting and sharing.Working Hours :Monday to Friday.

Beyond the initial surveying process, you will assist our technical team in producing construction and retrofit designs. Full training will be provided by our Technical Design Manager.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the latest surveying technologies, particularly drones and 3D scanners. Experience with Autodesk Revit would be advantageous.
Key Responsibilities:
Liaise with clients to arrange property access.
Distribute notification letters to properties scheduled for surveying.
Apply for drone flight permissions.
Process scan/photogrammetry data to generate point clouds.
Assist with technical drawing production using Autodesk Revit.
Verify the accuracy of drawings by comparing them to point cloud data.
Maintain checklists and documentation for each project.
Keep clients and management informed using project trackers.
Ensure that sub-consultants meet expected quality standards.
Handle contractor and client queries.
Support the development of technical, construction, and retrofit designs.
Conduct accuracy checks on 3D models and adjust elements as needed.
Perform administrative tasks, including answering calls and handling customer queries.

Employer Description:LIBERTY Steel UK is the third largest steel manufacturer in the country, with a footprint that covers nine sites across England, Scotland and Wales. It employs over 2,000 people and has an annual steel rolling capacity approaching three million tonnes.
With steelmaking heritage dating back to 1842, LIBERTY Steel’s sites in the UK have a wealth of expertise thanks to our team of metallurgists, steelmakers, engineers and technicians.
Our capabilities range from electric arc, vacuum induction melting, mill processing and value added services.

The UK business sits within LIBERTY Steel Group, which is the GFG Alliance’s global steel manufacturing arm. With a total rolling capacity exceeding 18 million tonnes it is one of the top 10 producers globally, excluding China.
Liberty Steel UK is playing an active role in meeting the group’s global ambition to be carbon neutral by 2030.
