Job description

Early Years / F1 / Reception Primary Teacher NG20

Can you turn a child s curiosity into an exciting learning adventure?

Do you love the messy, magical moments that make Early Years teaching so rewarding?

Do you want to join a welcoming school where kindness and creativity have room to grow?

TeacherActive is looking for a caring, imaginative Early Years / F1 Primary Teacher to support a welcoming primary school in Shirebrook.

From sharing a favourite story to helping children make their first friendships, you ll play a part in making school somewhere they feel happy, secure and excited to explore. With a library, spacious surroundings and outdoor learning provision, there are plenty of opportunities to follow children s interests and bring learning to life through play.

This is a school with a strong community spirit. Charity collections encourage children to give back, while its values of being ready, respectful and safe help pupils develop kindness, independence and responsibility from the very beginning.

The work will be on a regular supply basis, with consistency important for the children. For the right Early Years / F1 Teacher, this could develop into a long-term placement, giving you time to build trusted relationships and see those small steps become significant milestones.

What will your role include?

• Creating engaging, play-based learning experiences in line with the EYFS framework.
• Supporting early communication, language, literacy and mathematical development.
• Making the most of indoor and outdoor provision to encourage exploration.
• Adapting activities to meet individual needs, including children with SEND.
• Working with colleagues and families to support children s well-being and progress.

What will the successful Early Years / F1 Teacher bring?

You ll hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and have experience within Early Years, alongside a sound understanding of the EYFS framework. Warm, nurturing and enthusiastic, you ll know when to offer encouragement, when to follow a child s curiosity and when a familiar routine can make all the difference. You ll bring patience, positive behaviour management and the flexibility to adapt when the day takes an unexpected turn. A collaborative approach, a commitment to safeguarding and an enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply, are essential.

Why work with TeacherActive?

Your next role should feel right for you. We ll take the time to understand what you enjoy about teaching, where you want to develop and what you re looking for in a school. Then we ll work hard to find opportunities that fit.

You’ll benefit from:

• CPD through MyProgression, helping you keep developing your Early Years teaching practice.
• Competitive rates and weekly PAYE pay.
• Regular check-ins and ongoing support throughout your placement.
• A refer-a-friend scheme, rewarding you for introducing fellow education professionals.
