What skills and experience we're looking for

“Not just a teaching role, a chance to shape a school and change lives.”

Little Heaton CE Primary School is seeking a passionate, nurturing and determined EYFS teacher to join us at a truly important time in our school’s journey.

We are a school that is improving, evolving and building something special and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey. This is not a “sit back and maintain” role. This is a chance to help shape the future of our provision, our environment and the life chances of our children.

This role will be in our EYFS/Year 1 class initially, moving to EYFS only the following year (depending on cohort numbers).

• Early Years is valued as the foundation for future success
• You will be part of a team working together to improve education and opportunities for all pupils

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a strong understanding of the EYFS Framework and child development
• Believes deeply that all children can achieve
• Is passionate about early language, phonics and foundational learning
• Can create a purposeful, engaging and language-rich environment
• Has high expectations for behaviour, independence and routines
• Can support children with SEND and social communication needs
• Is calm, consistent and nurturing, while maintaining clear boundaries
• Is reflective, proactive and committed to professional growth
• Wants to be part of a school that is developing and improving

Desirable:

• A minimum of 2 years’ experience teaching in EYFS
• Experience supporting children with additional needs

• A leadership team committed to improving outcomes and supporting staff
