What is your title?

[skippy]

Hi 

I just wondered what your titles are if you are part of the management team? Are you simply the manager or something different. TIA

[Stargrower]

I am the manager.  I have a deputy manager, then room leaders, then practitioners (official job title is Early Years Practitioner), then assistants for unqualified staff(e.y. assistants).

Skivvy🙄

[Panders]

Same as Sunnyday - the buck well and truly stops here, sometimes I sign myself Owner/Manager when writing letters

[Mouseketeer]

Same here....for manager see administrator, accountant, peace keeper, gardener, cleaner, counsellor, negotiator, liaison officer, caretaker and fellow mutterer.....well who else could possibly tighten a screw or change a battery?

Sorry I realise my skivvy remark was not at all helpful, just got in from work and it’s been a long day🤪.  I used to call myself pre school leader now I call myself pre school manager.  I think this changed when the EYFS came in and talked about managers.🙄

It's Manager for me too.  Used to be Supervisor but we had a Chair who ran her own business and pointed out that I was responsible for the day to day running of the group therefore should be called Manager.

Flip forgot plumber and I’d prefer purchasing operative to shopper if you don’t mind ... but my main role is to waste hours looking for things that no one has ever seen or moved !

I changed it 'cos i thought supervisor sounded like i was running a prison
