We are looking for someone who is caring, flexible, shows initiative and is able to work as part of our Early Years team. You should have good communication skills and be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of the needs of young children in large and small groups and as well as on an individual basis. The successful candidate will also have the ability to approach tasks with enthusiasm, positivity, energy and commitment. Ideally, we would like the candidate to be qualified at level 3.

Duties will also include some lunchtime supervision. 

This post is offered as a fixed term contract as maternity cover.  However, continual professional development of our staff is important and it is hoped that when this post ceases the successful candidate would be well placed to apply for other job opportunities within Oxhey Wood School or the wider Agora Trust.
