What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a skilled EYFS teacher to cover maternity in our nursery setting. You may be a skilled teacher with a passion for early childhood education or more recently qualified and looking to develop your experience in a supportive school environment.

The successful candidate will ensure that our youngest pupils are cared for in a happy, safe and stimulating environment. We have great facilities and are committed to delivering a creative, engaging curriculum.

Ideally you will:

  • Have experience of teaching in Nursery or Reception and demonstrate excellent classroom practice.
  • Understand and value the importance of carefully planned continuous provision in the early years.
  • Have both the drive and commitment to expect the best from our pupils.
  • Have the skills to build strong, supportive relationships with children that are built on mutual understanding and respect.
  • Have consistently high expectations of learning and behaviour.
  • Be committed to engaging in the whole life of our school.
  • Be hard working, flexible and a good communicator – especially with parents and carers.
  • Be ambitious for pupils with SEND, and understand the barriers they may face.
  • Be keen to be part of a team, prepared to constantly review your practice and always be striving for excellence.


What the school offers its staff

You will become part of our committed team of over 25 teaching professionals who truly want to, and do, make a difference.

We can offer you:

  • A committed and caring team of staff and governors.
  • A supportive leadership team who understands the importance of a good work/life balance.
  • The Queen’s Hill Development Programme – an in-house facilitator will work with you to improve your practice.
  • Children who enjoy learning and want to do well, with an active school council.
  • A fantastic, purpose-built learning environment.
  • A stimulating, balanced and relevant curriculum.
  • Forward thinking approaches to learning and professional development.
