  • Experienced Mentors: Experience in an Early Years setting is essential.

  • SEN Advocates: An interest in (or experience with) supporting children with SEN is vital. There is even an opportunity to gain a SENCo qualification.

  • Gentle Leaders: Someone who understands that "nothing is impossible with love" and uses that belief to manage transitions and learning.

Why Join This Team?

  • Supportive Environment: Be part of an innovative, forward-thinking, and happy school community.

  • Benefits: Local Government Pension Scheme and dedicated PPA time.
