Part Time EYFS Teacher job summary

Oakfield First School is looking to appoint an excellent Maternity cover Early Years Foundation Stage practitioner who will be highly motivated, enthusiastic and committed to give our children the best start to the education. This is a 3 day a week position for a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

The positive impact you can have early to a young person’s life is most likely the reason you got into Primary Education in the first place. Here, that impact will be greater than you could have imagined.

Oakfield First School provides an outstanding education for children. Channeling individual capabilities into academic success is the goal, as part of a holistic and uniquely attentive educational strategy. Our children enjoy an enriching, engaging and enjoyable education

The Role

Your focus will be to make a real impact by guiding pupils, at this transformative age, toward a new path and helping to shape their behaviours for the better.

• Address challenges strategically, collaboratively and holistically to enable each child to meet their full potential

• Our ideal candidate has excellent classroom management skills, is highly organised, is a team player and has strong behaviour management skills

The Person

There for the long-term satisfaction that behavioural transformation brings, you’ll know that some days may not be as rewarding as others, but that it’s all a part of the journey toward transforming lives.

That’s because you’re a realist who knows that making a difference means maintaining an on-going dialogue with your peers and managers to keep developing the approach for each child. What’s more, you’ll be fully aware of the standards Ofsted is looking out for and always keen to go above and beyond them - never anything less than engaged and engaging.

For a passionate Primary Teacher who knows that pupil journeys are on-going and not always easy, it’s an amazing next step in your career.

The rewards

• Become part of a friendly, supportive team who encourage creativity and innovation.

• We have an approachable and experienced senior leadership team who are willing to support all aspects of your professional development, whether as an NQT at the start of your career or as a more experienced teacher looking for career development
