At Hale CE Primary School, we are investing in our youngest learners by creating a unique opportunity for an additional teacher to join our Reception team.

As part of the Early Years team, you will share involvement in all aspects of EYFS responsibilities and provision. As we develop our new nursery provision, there may also be exciting opportunities to be involved in its initial set-up and future development.

• Has experience of teaching within the Early Years Foundation Stage (this could be as a student teacher). 
  • Demonstrates a strong understanding of child development, early learning and successful transition into school
  • Is passionate about ensuring all children are supported, challenged and inspired to flourish
  • Works effectively as part of a collaborative team and values partnership working
  • Has excellent interpersonal and communication skills
  • Is committed to high standards of teaching and learning within an inclusive environment
  • Is supportive of the Christian ethos and vision of our school to “Be the Light”
  • Would welcome the opportunity to contribute to the future development of our nursery provision

In return, we offer:

• A caring, welcoming and supportive staff team
  • The opportunity to work alongside an experienced EYFS Lead and dedicated support staff
  • Enthusiastic children who enjoy learning and are eager to thrive
  • A strong and positive school community with excellent parental support
  • Opportunities to contribute to the development of our expanding Early Years provision
  • A school where relationships, wellbeing and inclusion are at the heart of all we do
  • Opportunities for continued professional development and growth

If you are an inspiring teacher who is ready to make a difference and “be the Light” in our school community, we would love to hear from you.
