• act professionally
• be self-critical and forge positive professional relationships
• have a commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
• work with parents in the best interests of our pupils

We are looking to appoint a hardworking and dedicated person to join our Ear;ly Years Team.

The ideal candidate will have:

• relevant experience of working in an Early Years setting
• a Level 2 or 3 qualification in Childcare or Early Years education (or be committed to attaining this within 24 months of joining our school)

• experience or willingness to support the intimate care and medical needs of pupils (full training will be provided)
• the ability to adapt their supporting methods to suit varying levels of need as required
• strong communication and teamwork skills

We can offer you:

• Well behaved, hardworking and enthusiastic pupils;
• An inspiring, supportive school community;
• A commitment to a culture of continuous professional development

This is an exciting opportunity for an inspirational Early Years practitioner to take on a crucial role within our expanding vibrant school. The successful candidate should be brimming with enthusiasm to make a real difference to the life chances of our pupils.
