At Victoria House, we’re driven by dreams of all sizes, committed to achieving every goal and empowered by people with vision. No matter the size of your dream, we’re here to support it.

Our journey began in 2005 with a vision: to be the highest quality and most loved Nursery & Pre-School on the Isle of Man. We imagined a future of Early Years education that was different. Where a focused, curriculum led approach would inspire big dreamers. Where children are prepared for this dynamic, modern world and where people thrive in their careers.

From Industry leading salaries to a refreshed approach to flexibility for a work-life balance, our benefits and culture are there to support all our employees.

We are looking for a kind, reliable, and organised individual to join our warm and welcoming team as a Kitchen & Mealtime Assistant.

At Victoria House Nursery, mealtimes are a cherished part of our day, a moment to nourish little bodies and bring joy to our children. If you love working around food and enjoy being part of a supportive team in a lively, child-centered environment, this could be the perfect role for you.
