Are you passionate about seeing the small steps that every child can make, no matter what their individual needs? Do you have high expectations that all children can achieve their full potential? Are you a positive, enthusiastic person with a good sense of humour who would like to work with a supportive and innovative team? 

We are looking for that special someone who will slot into our amazing family of staff, parents and little people. ( please see full Job description and person specification)

We are looking for an experienced, qualified to level 3 EYFS practitioner to work in our progressive and forward thinking EYFS. You will need to have extensive experience working in EYFS including up-to-date knowledge of good practice including working with children with differing needs. 

You will be working within our well resourced Reception class alongside experienced class teachers and within an incredibly supportive and happy team. 

Woodside is a good school with a village feel, committed to ensuring that all children are included. We have fantastic grounds with a purpose made outdoor learning space used by all children- so a love of the outdoors is an advantage. 

Within the next 2 years we will have a brand new school which will be environmentally friendly as well as offering us the best possible learning environment that we can offer our young people, while retaining our fantastic grounds and the ethos of our school. Our team will be involved with the design to help provide a state of the art modern environment for all. 

An extra incentive to work at Woodside is that we have a two week October half term which allows our staff and children to have a longer break in the Autumn term- and the ability to access a term time holiday!

We are part of Ivy Learning Trust, a small family of schools within Hertfordshire and Enfield where the support that the school and staff receive is excellent.   

Please email head@woodside.herts.sch.uk if you wish to have a virtual tour and informal chat about the post and to submit your application.
