EYFS Lead and Reception & KS1 Teacher job summary

'Promoting a love of learning for all children, within a caring and supportive community.'

An opportunity has arisen for a new member to join our Longford team. Due to the departure of our current EYFS lead and teacher at Christmas, we are currently looking for someone who can take on the role from January.

We are looking for a teacher and leader who is:

• Confident and enthusiastic about teaching across the EYFS and Year 1 curriculum, adapting teaching to meet the needs of children at different stages of development.
• An excellent classroom practitioner with a strong understanding of child development and effective pedagogy at both EYFS & KS1.
• Passionate about early years education and committed to providing the very best start to children's learning journey.
• Experienced, or aspiring, in leading EYFS and driving high standards of teaching, learning and provision.
• Reflective, resilient and committed to continuous professional development.
• Able to work as part of a small team, building supportive relationships with children, families, colleagues and the wider community.
• Able to inspire, motivate and support others through effective leadership and teamwork.
• Committed to promoting and supporting the nurturing ethos and values of our school.
• Committed to developing a love of learning for all children, while promoting an inclusive environment in which every child feels valued and supported.

You will be supported, full-time, by a teaching and learning assistant.

Due to the circumstances, it is a fixed term post until August 2027. However, for the right leader, there is the potential for this to be made permanent from September 2027.

Whilst the role is advertised as full-time, there is the potential for some flexibility, should we find the right candidate.

This post is not suitable for ECTs.

Visits are welcome and recommended - we would love to meet you! Please get in touch with our headteacher, Mrs Elise Piper-Hadfield via email: headteacher@longford.derbyshire.sch.uk or the school office: 01335 330364.
