About the Role

Inspirational Reception Teacher Needed to start after Easter

(We will consider part-time three days per week for the right candidate)   We are looking for a self-motivated and dynamic Foundation Stage teacher who is committed to each child reaching their full potential through the delivery of a nurturing, challenging and exciting curriculum. We want our children to be inspired and supported to become confident and independent learners. Therefore, a secure understanding of the ‘Characteristics of Effective Learning’ is essential. We operate a fully integrated and well regarded Foundation Stage Unit which consists of the school nursery and three Reception classes. It is therefore crucial that the successful candidate has a thorough working knowledge of the EYFS and an understanding of the principles that underpin Early Years Education. Langney Primary School is a caring, and nurturing school that is passionate about inclusion and determined to help every child succeed. Our pupils behave well and show excellent attitudes to both their learning and relationships with others. If you would like to join our welcoming, friendly and supportive team then we look forward to hearing from you. Langney is a rewarding and happy place to be! Visits to the school and informal discussions are most welcome – please contact the school office.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits. This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau). This post is covered by the Childcare Disqualification Regulations 2009. The school will need to ensure that they are not knowingly employing a person who is disqualified under the 2009 Regulations in connection with relevant childcare provision.  Accordingly, the successful candidate will be required to demonstrate to the school, by completing a self-declaration form as part of the pre-employment checks process, that they have not been disqualified under the 2009 Regulations. If the preferred candidate is found to be disqualified under the 2009 Regulations, the offer of employment will be subject to the application by the preferred candidate to Ofsted for a waiver and the receipt of a waiver from Ofsted.
