This is a full-time, long-term role, starting from February half term, and is ideal for someone looking for stability and consistency in a well-supported EYFS setting.

The school is seeking a committed and experienced practitioner who is confident supporting young children with varying needs and contributing positively to a busy Reception classroom.

The school is a well-organised mainstream primary with a strong EYFS team and clear routines in place. The Reception provision is well staffed and structured, providing a supportive environment for both pupils and adults.

The school offers:

  • A Reception class with a class teacher and two additional adults

  • Help create a calm, inclusive and engaging learning environment
  • Work closely with the class teacher and other support staff
