Or perhaps you would like a change of setting, a new challenge or to develop your career? We are looking for a nursery teacher to join our team.

This vacancy is suitable for an ECT as we have expert mentors who can support you. But equally we are willing to pay for experience and would welcome applications from more experienced teachers. The nursery team is well established and effective so we are happy to consider candidates with only KS1 experience for this position who are willing to \’learn on the job\’ and transfer their skills to a nursery setting.

Although this position is fixed term for maternity cover for a year, there is the possiblity of this being extended.
