We are looking to appoint an inspirational Teacher (QTS) to join our dedicated nursery team four days a week, 8am to 6pm. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced teacher to shape pedagogy within our setting, and maintain the excellent standard of early years education we offer.

Established in 1991, Little Angels consists of two privately owned settings, each with approximately 70 places for children aged 5 months to 5 years. We have a dedicated Pre-School classroom, with class sizes of approximately 16 - 20 children, aged 3 to 5 years. The teacher is over and above the ratio and works alongside one to two members of staff and in partnership with a second teacher. The nursery is well resourced and has large outdoor spaces which offer a range of opportunities for exploration, investigation and play.

Job Outline

The role involves working with our other Teacher and the wider team to lead pedagogy in the setting; planning and implementing a curriculum based on the EYFS which supports children’s learning and development. The teacher works within a small teaching team across the setting to ensure effective implementation of our play based, child-led curriculum throughout the nursery. In addition to planning and directing sessions in a dedicated space, responsibilities may include attending weekly planning meetings, assisting with INSET training days, maintaining children’s folders, one to one reading and Read Write Inc. Phonics sessions, carrying out children’s observations on Famly and writing transfer records. The teacher will also be expected to assist practitioners, maintain best practice and encourage sustained shared thinking between adults and children.

Above all, we are looking for a creative and innovative teacher with a passion for learning.

You must have QTS to be considered for this position, and an excellent command of written and spoken English.
