About this Opportunity
An exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of our organisational development!
We are currently seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and committed level 3 Early Years Practitioner. Your duties will include delivering high quality childcare and education services for 2–3-year-olds in our Early Years setting and providing bespoke support for children with additional needs. Knowledge of child development, teamwork and knowledge of routines and ability to cater for different children in an Early Years setting is essential. You will need to have an excellent understanding of delivery and assessment of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and the statutory requirements.
We have an excellent reputation within the community, and we are committed to providing the best education and care for children and families. This post will require you to work alongside families, professionals and other services to support the child during this crucial early stage of development. You will be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
Here at Redscope Primary School we believe in making sure that children have a whole host of experiences during their time at school from going for a walk in the woods, learning to swim, playing a musical instrument and going on residential. Whilst we have a wide curriculum with lots of exciting experiences, we believe that children succeed by mastering the basics of reading, writing and mathematics. Our core values are emotional literacy, creativity, basic skills and positive contribution.
