What skills and experience we're looking for

The ideal person will be:

• A specialist who can implement research-based approaches to support child development

• Committed and driven to make a difference – always willing to go the extra mile to support some of the most appreciative yet disadvantaged children and families in our community

• Able to make warm and positive relationships and support parents with the anxiety that comes as part of starting school for the first time

• A proficient speaker of grammatically sound English

• A confident and dynamic practitioner in Phonics

• Knowledgeable about how to promote a love of early reading and how to encourage parents to support reading in the home

• Able to co-ordinate staff so they are deployed effectively and safely in support of the children

• Able to ensure a vibrant, well structured, and purposeful learning environment which is rooted in the principles of effective early learning

What the school offers its staff

Our school is on an exciting journey, after being renamed and rebranded for the start of this academic year – with a new logo and a new school uniform. We have a new Early Years Outdoor Area being installed at present and then further work to do on implementing a new nursery curriculum that is aligned to what is taught in Reception. We are looking for someone who is keen to be involved in this project and someone who can build up the credibility of our provision in the wider Burton area – beyond the school’s natural reach.

Commitment to safeguarding

This School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
