Could you be an Early Years Teaching Superhero?

We have permanent and temporary teaching roles available currently for qualified and unqualified staff.

Can you…

  • Read a book upside down, whilst answering 23 questions and do all the agreed sound-effects correctly? 
  • Sing?  In-tune is a bonus but loudly and in front of an audience is a must. 
  • Convincingly pretend eat playdough creations and go back for seconds? 
  • Do warm hugs? (and for bonus points name the film?) or do special smiles, which would make every little person feel valued?
  • Count really fast-moving objects quickly eg. count a room full of little people who can’t stand still?
  • Remember the names of random characters invented by a 4-year-old during a game you played 2 weeks ago? 
  • Do a great dinosaur impression?
  • Answer where you’re going, why, and how long for when you’re just off to the loo? Or field equally personal questions without batting an eyelid?

If you can, then you sound like the superhero we need to join our teaching team. Superhero credentials will be checked and will need to include at minimum 

  • 2 recent references  
  • a valid DBS / update certificate which we will verify
