Nursery Teacher

Education Resources

We are looking for a fully qualified GTC primary  teacher with experience or interest in teaching children within the Nursery.

At Halfmerke Community Nursery we aim to create a happy, safe and stimulating learning environment, providing education of the highest quality. Developing the whole child is important to us. We foster academic and aesthetic development, moral and social development and loyalty to both nursery and community.

South Lanarkshire Council schools have undergone an £800m+ modernisation programme. We have invested significantly in modernising school buildings and this project is believed to be the largest and most progressive in the UK.

The agenda now is to provide high quality education which will inspire learners, transform learning and strengthen communities.

It is our mission to make positive meaningful changes in the lives of young people. We aim to provide an exceptional learning and working environment for pupils and staff and work in partnership with parents, support staff and other professionals.

We are the fifth largest local authority in Scotland and we want to harness the passion and commitment that you have for teaching – so why not come and join us.

We are committed to the education, care and welfare of young people in a childcare environment.  You will assist in the delivery of the curriculum and contribute to whole nursery initiatives, as appropriate.
