As part of the Acorn Education Trust we provide exciting opportunities to improve local education. We are immensely proud of our nursery, school and the facilities we offer.

Increasing numbers in the nursery and throughout the school mean that we are looking to increase our early years team by recruiting a motivated, energetic and proactive Early Years Professional (on a fixed term basis) who will ensure the delivery of safe, high quality education and care for all of our children.

The successful candidate must have a relevant level 3 qualification and will be expected to demonstrate a warm and caring approach with the children, and experience of working with the early years foundation stage.
