Early Years Practitioner

February or April 2025 start

Would you like to work with some of the most curious and warm-hearted children?

Do you want to share your imagination, enthusiasm and zest for life with young minds? 

We are a nurturing and thriving independent co-educational prep school set in the heart of the Chilterns with 26o+ children. 

Children learn primarily through play, enjoying a combination of adult-initiated and child-led activities. We are seeking to recruit an inspiring and committed Early Years Practitioner to work with a fantastic and caring team who put our children at the centre of what they do. 

You will work alongside experienced professionals inspiring and enthusing the children at the start of their Gateway School learning journey.  This position would suit a candidate with a bubbly, outgoing personality who is able to work on their own initiative. 

The successful candidate will also be responsible for communicating effectively and working with the Early Years team to ensure a high standard of physical, emotional, social and intellectual education and care for children placed in Early Years. Our provision is open for 47 weeks of the year. There is a degree of flexibility with working hours which can be discussed at interview. 

Should you wish to apply, an application form is available to download from our website at www.gatewayschool-bucks.co.uk   or please contact Mrs Helen Brown pa@gatewaysch.co.uk or telephone 01494 862407.   Applications should be sent to Gateway School by midday 29 November 2024.

Gateway School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  All offers of employment are subject to references and a Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
