Early Years Key Person

About the role

• Are you looking for a role in a school that focuses on ‘in the moment’ learning for children, and avoids ‘top down' pressure?

• Are you  enthusiastic and energetic with a passion for teaching within Early Years?

• Do you have the stamina and resilience to support two and three year olds with their care and learning?

• Do you have the ability and commitment to be a Key Person for two and three year olds?

• Are you quick to establish positive relationships with children, their families and your colleagues?

You might be looking for an interim role whilst you evaluate next steps in your teaching career, seeking a greater work life balance, or have become disillusioned with the focus on achievement of children in phases beyond the EYFS.

We are looking for creative and inspirational individuals to complement our Kingswood community, and be responsible for teaching and learning within our Pre School for two terms. You need to be passionate about quality early years education, and have extensive experience of working with two, three and four year olds, to support and enhance early learning experiences within our Pre School room, which is an integral part of our maintained Nursery School.

We require a dynamic and resilient team member who is forward thinking, and quick to adapt, with a sunny disposition who will work closely with our school leaders to communicate and implement our bespoke 5 Ways to Wow Curriculum. We are a highly motivated and experienced team; ambitious for young children and ourselves.

You must hold a Level 3 Childcare qualification minimum and be able to demonstrate excellent knowledge and understanding of the EYFS.  This would be an ideal post for someone who is looking to move from Nursery teaching within primary education and explore other options.

The post is term time only plus INSET days each academic year, starting from 1st September. The hours are 8.15- 3.30pm on Mondays, 8:15-3:15pm Wednesdays, 8:15-3pm Fridays and 8.15-4:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, to allow for staff meetings (35 hours a week).  There will be 30 minutes for lunch each day, and up to two hours per week PPA.

The post is paid at H4, (actual £20432) for a suitably qualified practitioner with a minimum Level 3 childcare qualification. This is a fixed term contract for up to two terms (Autumn and Spring).

This advert will remain open until we find a suitable person.
