Are you a passionate and nurturing Early Years Teacher looking for a truly rewarding role where you can make a meaningful impact every single day?

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher to join our supportive team this September, working with a small class of 6 pupils aged 5–8, all learning within an Early Years curriculum framework. This is a unique opportunity to deliver highly personalised, child-centred education in a calm, well-resourced environment where every pupil is known, valued, and supported to achieve their very best.

About the Role

You will:

  • Lead a small class of just 6 pupils, enabling strong relationships and tailored learning

  • Work collaboratively with a skilled team of teaching assistants and specialists

  • Use a range of strategies to support communication, social development, and emotional wellbeing

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

  • Holds QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) or equivalent

  • Has experience in Early Years and/or SEN settings (desirable but not essential for the right candidate)

  • Is patient, adaptable, and committed to inclusive education

  • Brings creativity, warmth, and energy into the classroom

  • Is confident in planning and delivering differentiated learning opportunities

Why Join Us?
