What skills and experience we're looking for

An exciting opportunity has arisen through the expansion of our Nursery and we are looking to recruit a part time teacher to cover Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

This role is required from January, when we will begin to offer 30 hours provision.

Initially the role is offered as a two-term contract to August 2027 as we open over a trial period; we will hopefully be able to continue to provide 30 hours in the new school year, and therefore this may be extended.

• has a good knowledge and understanding of the EYFS curriculum
• is passionate about the early development of children
• has high aspirations for all pupils
• works effectively as a member of the whole school team, ensuring Early Years is the foundation for all aspects of school life
• has experience of supporting children with additional and complex needs
• is able to plan, organise and resource a stimulating learning environment
• promotes the welfare of all children and safeguards their interests at all times

What the school offers its staff

In return we can offer:

• Fantastic pupils who are enthusiastic and keen to learn
• A committed and caring staff team
• A supportive working culture that focuses on positive learning behaviour and high expectations for all children.
• A senior leadership team that is committed to developing others.
• An inclusive approach to education where we continue to aim to exceed expectations for all.
