About the role

St Dominic Catholic Primary School is seeking a dedicated and passionate Early Years Practitioner who holds either an Early Years Practitioner Level 6 (EYPS) qualification or an Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) to join our excellent team. This is a permanent position for 22 hours per week, 8.30am – 12.30pm, Monday to Friday, with an additional 2 hours PPA time allocated one afternoon per week.

The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching, monitoring and assessing, and will play a crucial role in providing high quality early education to 3 and 4-yearold children. This includes developing a curriculum that the children will respond to positively, ensuring that the provision for all children is of the highest possible standard and inspiring them to learn through play-based learning. We have a large, well-resourced nursery classroom with an amazing outdoor area.

Candidates must have:

  • An excellent understanding of the Early Years curriculum to ensure children develop strong foundations to prepare them for their next stage in their education
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • A willingness to support the aims and values of our Catholic School ( but do not need to be of the Catholic faith)
  • Experience and knowledge of SEND
  • A willingness to build positive relationships with both parents and staff

You will be joining a highly qualified and supportive team. Our school was rated "outstanding" at our most recent Ofsted visit in November 2023. We have supportive parents, delightful children and are very proud of our Nursery. We would welcome visits from prospective applicants.
