North Bradley CE Primary School is seeking to appoint a positive and enthusiastic Class Teacher to join the EYFS team. As a member of staff within our Trust, you will contribute to a collaborative working environment and play a key role in supporting the learning and development of all pupils.
This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and dedicated Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Teacher to join a supportive and ambitious school community on a fixed-term maternity cover basis. The successful candidate will deliver high-quality EYFS teaching that nurtures children's curiosity, creativity, and love of learning while supporting their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. You will plan and deliver engaging learning experiences, assess and monitor progress, and adapt provision to meet the needs of all children, including those with SEND. Working closely with the Early Years Lead, support staff, parents, and external agencies, you will play a key role in ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive. The role involves creating a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children are encouraged to develop confidence, independence, and positive relationships. We are seeking a teacher with excellent knowledge of the EYFS framework, strong classroom practice, and high expectations for learning and behaviour. The successful candidate will contribute to the wider life of the school, share effective practice, and support the delivery of an enriched curriculum. A strong commitment to safeguarding, wellbeing, and partnership working with families is essential. We welcome applications from enthusiastic, resilient, and caring practitioners who are passionate about helping young children achieve their full potential. In return, we offer a collaborative and welcoming environment, professional development opportunities, and the chance to make a lasting impact on children's earliest educational experiences while providing valuable continuity during this maternity cover period.
