Do you like to solve puzzles? Can you help our children to find their missing piece to complete their jigsaw?
Following a successful appointment of the existing post holder, we are seeking to find the right person to come and join our team and help to complete the puzzle for our pupils. We believe that our pupils possess all the right pieces to complete their own personal jigsaw, but some require additional support to see how the pieces fit together to complete the picture.
You will have the privilege to work alongside a talented and experienced team to provide a specific and targeted curriculum offer for pupils who may have additional learning, emotional or well-being needs.
You will be able to apply a sound understanding of Early Years and phonic development practice to assess, plan, implement targeted provision and then review outcomes that close gaps in learning. You may have some experience of Nurture group provision but must be eager to apply the theory into practice and commit to complete training linked to the Theory and practice of Nurture group provision.

About Lift Caldicotes
**Please scroll to the bottom of this page to view our live vacancies**
Lift Caldicotes is a vibrant and forward thinking school and is proud to serve the communities around Thorntree, which is to the east of Middlesbrough. We are within easy access from Middlesbrough and the Tees Valley and close to the A19.
If you have a passion for education, can be equally enthusiastic about learning opportunities linked to dinosaurs as to princesses, aliens or a naughty elf; are able to create opportunities for learning and progress whether inside or out come rain, hail or shine and love working as part of a team, you could be the person we are looking for!
Working as part of Lift Schools our mission is to provide every child with an excellent education, in every classroom, every day. Through our inclusive, individualised and inspirational curriculum, we aim to develop attributes and qualities that pupils will build upon as they continue on their learning journey within our setting and on into their next stage of learning. We aspire for our pupils to become productive, respectful, honest and reliable members of the community, who are resilient and determined, whilst fostering attitudes of care and respect for themselves and their own and wider community.
Our Curriculum
We are a creative and forward thinking school and our curriculum reflects this. Each area of the curriculum has a whole school policy and a scheme of work, currently being updated to reflect the new Primary Curriculum 2014 document. Our curriculum reflects the needs of the children whilst meeting the National Curriculum statutory requirements. Staff plan creative projects to encompass elements of the curriculum linked to core skills. The essential ‘core skills’ underpin all the work planned to ensure maximum impact on pupils’ progress. We operate a ‘2 year rolling programme’ for our curriculum coverage, which will allow greater opportunities for shared planning, creativity and collaboration within the EYFS, KS1, Lower KS2 and Upper KS2 phases.
Our Specialism and Awards
We are proud to be designated a Forest School. The philosophy of Forest Schools is to encourage and inspire individuals of any age through an innovative, long term, educational approach to outdoor play and learning in a woodland environment.
Many Forest Schools activities enhance the creative curriculum - an approach to teaching and learning designed to support children's natural curiosity. Sessions are designed around the needs of different groups and around a theme. Many areas of the National Curriculum are covered during a Forest Schools programme without the programmes being curriculum-led - the ethos of Forest Schools is that they are learner-led. The activities will act as a stimulus for many more activities back in the classroom.
We also hold the Arts Mark Gold, the BIG award and the Green Flag award among many others.
Ofsted
We were again judged to be a 'good' school overall and outstanding within our early years provision, during our last inspection in September 2024.
Who is Lift Schools?
Lift Schools is made up of 57 primary, secondary and special schools, educating more than 33,000 pupils across the country. We believe education can transform lives – and we want every child in our schools to achieve their full potential.
Our mission:
- We will provide an excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day.
- With excellent leadership and teaching in every school, we will help children go on to lead successful and happy lives.
- We will work with others beyond our network to benefit more children and communities.
