This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of something special from the very beginning.
Garstang Community Primary School is a well-regarded one form entry primary school with a high profile in the community of Garstang.

The successful candidate will join our well-established school staff, and be instrumental in creating an environment where learning through play is key. You will be well supported by the existing staff and our Early Years’ Lead. You will be expected to help direct the work of other nursery staff.
The role is for 26 hours per week over 4 days, term-time only and the salary will be paid pro-rata based on the FTE salary. Hours of work will be 8:30 am – 3:30 pm., Monday to Thursday. With the growth of the nursery, we hope in time to extend this to 5 days.
