How many nursery practitioner jobs are listed in the UK?

SchoolJobs currently lists 101 live nursery practitioner vacancies in the UK. The number changes as schools publish new vacancies and closing dates pass.

Where does this data come from, and is it free to apply?

From the DfE Teaching Vacancies service (Open Government Licence v3.0) and licensed feeds. Pay is shown exactly as published, a recruiter is named only where evidence confirms it (otherwise “Employer not confirmed”), and SchoolJobs never charges candidates.
