Can you imagine walking into the EYFS phase of a school and seeing the most incredible example of continuous provision and independent learning? Are you able to visualise a setting where all children are deeply immersed in their learning environment, taking risks, making connections and bringing their imagination to life? Are you able to turn a normal school courtyard into a world of imaginative play and exploration? Can you confidently implement continuous and enhanced provision and support others to build a world of learning for the pupils at Loose? If this sounds like you, we are really keen to meet you.

We are looking for a number of roles as we embark on a new direction through our EYFS phase and into Year1. You must be determined, passionate and knowledgeable about the EYFS phase. Ideally you will have strong knowledge of the EYFS curriculum, best practice in child initiated learning and a hunger for dreaming big for our children.

You might be leading or working in a nursery setting and looking to earn more for your skills and experience in a mainstream primary school.  You might be an outstanding classroom teacher looking for more responsibility and challenge. 

In order to attract the best possible team members, we are offering part and full time roles. Salary is negotiable for the right candidate to take us on a journey of discovery and imagination through EYFS or those looking to support us on the way. 

Candidates should have one of the following: Qualified Teacher Status / Early Years Professional Status / Early Years Teacher Status / another approved Level 6 qualification.

We are not rushing to appoint, so the starting dates can be adjusted to suit the right candidates. If you are interested in our roles and vision, come and see us and take a look – we welcome visits. This is an open role which will be interviewed for as appropriate applications come through. With shortlisting dates on:

Round 1 - June 20th

Round 2 - September 20th
