EYFS Phase Leader

We are seeking to appoint an aspiring or established Early Years Leader to lead both our Reception cohort and our newly opened Nursery provision. 

We are looking for a highly motivated, passionate person who has experience of teaching in Early Years and can engage with colleagues and build relationships. The successful candidate will lead and manage the Early Years provision as a whole and relish the opportunity to continue to develop existing practice and shape EYFS provision in line with the school vision.

Alongside GLF schools we can provide extensive career development opportunities within the school and the Multi-Academy Trust.
