Whether you're an experienced EYFS teacher or an ECT ready to take your first steps into your teaching career, this is an opportunity to join a supportive school where relationships, creativity and early childhood development are at the heart of the classroom.

The role:

You'll be working within the school's Nursery provision, creating a stimulating environment where children can learn through play, explore their interests and develop the confidence and independence they need for the next stage of their education.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging, age-appropriate EYFS learning

  • Supporting children's personal, social and emotional development

  • Creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environment

  • Encouraging curiosity, communication and independence

  • Monitoring and assessing children's progress

  • Building positive relationships with parents and carers

  • Supporting the smooth transition of children into Reception

This is a welcoming community primary school in Birkenhead with a strong focus on creating a positive environment where children feel safe, valued and ready to learn.

You'll be joining a team that understands just how important those first experiences of school can be, making this an ideal setting for a teacher who enjoys play-based learning, building relationships and seeing those lightbulb moments happen every day.

The school is based in Birkenhead, making it accessible for educators living across Wirral and Merseyside, including areas such as:

Birkenhead | Prenton | Wallasey | Bebington | Heswall | Bromborough | Ellesmere Port | Liverpool
