Early Years Teacher – Haringey – September 2026

 

A nurturing, high-achieving primary school in Haringey is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and skilled Early Years Teacher to join their dedicated EYFS team from September 2026. This is a permanent Early Years Teacher role within a school rated Good by Ofsted, praised for its warm and structured learning environment, strong parental partnerships, and commitment to giving every child the very best start.

 

About the School

This Haringey primary school is rooted in a child-centred ethos underpinned by high expectations and evidence-based early years practice. The EYFS provision is a genuine strength – carefully structured to balance purposeful play with direct teaching, developing early literacy, numeracy, and communication skills with rigour and creativity. Behaviour is guided by consistent, age-appropriate frameworks that foster independence and respect. Enrichment activities, including forest school sessions, cultural visits, and family learning programmes, reflect the school's commitment to developing the whole child within its diverse North London community.

 

What the School Offers

• Structured CPD with clear pathways into EYFS or primary leadership
• Supportive SLT with dedicated mentoring for early career and experienced staff
• Collaborative year group planning with manageable workload expectations
• Well-resourced EYFS environment with strong community and parental engagement
• A warm, inclusive staff culture within a high-performing primary setting

 

The Role

As an Early Years Teacher, you will plan and deliver high-quality, stimulating learning experiences across the EYFS framework, using observation and assessment data to inform your teaching and track individual pupil progress. You will contribute to curriculum planning, support transition into Year 1, engage meaningfully with parents and carers, and uphold the school's high standards of care, behaviour, and achievement.

 

What the School is Looking For

This permanent Early Years Teacher position is best suited to candidates who:

• Hold UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), or are completing a UK-recognised teacher training programme
• Possess a strong academic background – a 2:1 degree or above from a reputable university
• Can demonstrate classroom experience within a UK primary or EYFS setting (placements or permanent roles considered)
• Show clear evidence of structured early years delivery and measurable developmental progress
• Are confident working within established behaviour and safeguarding frameworks
• Are legally entitled to work in the UK – the school is unable to provide visa sponsorship

 

ECT applicants are warmly welcomed, provided formal UK teacher training has been completed.
