We are looking for someone who is not afraid to sing out of tune in front of a crowd of children and is always prepared to laugh at jokes that they may not understand! You should have the ability to rapidly count the heads of many moving children and remember the names of all the pre-schoolers, their families, pets and their third favourite dinosaur as well as be able to read books upside down! We are looking for someone with a warm, smiley face that makes children feel special and in return you must be prepared to feel loved by many children and their families.

A committed approach to the wider school community and engagement with them
A cheerful, fresh and creative approach to giving the children in your care the best you can
To have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to work as part of a strong and supportive team
