Job description

Job Title: Early Years Teacher

Here at Ashford Oaks, we’re looking for an Early Years Teacher who is as unique as our school. Whether you’re experienced or newly qualified, you will share our commitment to providing children with opportunities, achievements, kindness, and support (OAKS).

We asked the children what they want in their teachers. Here’s what they said:

• Be kind and friendly
• Be interesting, cheerful, and funny
• Be reliable and a good role model
• Be encouraging, honest, and hardworking
• Be caring and enthusiastic
• Be an excellent listener
• Enjoy working as a teacher

Like your colleagues, you will set high expectations, create a safe and stimulating environment, and inspire children to achieve. You will encourage each child to take responsibility for their learning, love learning, and embrace curiosity.

Many pupils come from challenging backgrounds. In 2023, OFSTED rated our Early Years provision as Outstanding, noting that 'Children make a wonderful start in early years. In Nursery and Reception, staff share impressive expertise and care.'

Visit us and see the Ashford Oaks spirit in action, from the Pastoral Support Team providing support at the gates to the whole school engaging in activities like move and groove on the playground.

Joining us means benefiting from a collaborative environment and an ethos where we love the children as if they were our own.
