The successful candidate will be at the heart of our school community, working closely with families, parents, carers, and children to ensure every child has full access to educational opportunities. We are looking for a resilient and motivated individual who has a strong desire to nurture children as they grow into independent, highly motivated learners. The main responsibilities will include establishing positive relationships with families, providing practical and emotional support, and organising activities that promote children’s learning and wellbeing. You will also play a key role within our attendance and safeguarding teams by working with external agencies to support our families.  

Houghton Regis Primary School is a warm, welcoming and growing school, including a Nursery, with approximately 380 children on roll. At Houghton Regis Primary School, we believe that every child matters every day: childhood is not a dress rehearsal and our priority is for our pupils to love learning through an exceptional curriculum which is exciting and constantly developing.

We provide a happy, safe and positive environment, which nurtures confidence, motivation, independence and personal success for all pupils. We are focused on the development of the whole child and our pupils’ progress and well-being is our core purpose at all times.

 We strongly recommend that you visit our school and meet the Headteacher for an informal conversation. To arrange a visit, please contact the school on 01582 867487 or email fjones@houghtonregisprimary.co.uk.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All references will be sought prior to interview and successful applicants will be required to undertake enhanced disclosure checks.
