Job Description

Early Years Teacher – Bounds Green, Haringey – September 2026

A nurturing, highly regarded primary school in Bounds Green is seeking a passionate 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, celebrated for its warm, child-centred ethos and its genuine commitment to giving every child the strongest possible foundation for their educational journey.

 

About the School

This Haringey primary school sits at the heart of the Bounds Green community and delivers EYFS provision that is both nurturing and academically purposeful. Teaching is phonics-led and evidence-based, carefully balancing structured direct instruction with rich, purposeful play that develops early literacy, numeracy, and communication skills with genuine rigour. The school's diverse and vibrant community brings wonderful energy into the Early Years environment every single day. Behaviour is guided by consistent, age-appropriate frameworks that help young children develop independence, confidence, and a genuine love of learning from their very first days in school.

 

What the School Offers

  • A structured ECT induction programme with a dedicated EYFS mentor and protected weekly development time
  • A well-resourced Early Years environment with strong parental engagement and community links
  • Collaborative EYFS planning with a warm, close-knit team and manageable workload expectations
  • Clear CPD pathways into EYFS or primary phase leadership for ambitious practitioners
  • A school that genuinely celebrates Early Years as the foundation of everything that follows

 

The Role

As an Early Years Teacher, you will plan and deliver stimulating, well-structured learning experiences across the EYFS framework, using observation and assessment to track individual developmental progress and inform your teaching. You will support transition into Year 1, contribute to whole-school curriculum planning, and build strong, trusting relationships with pupils, parents, and colleagues throughout the year.

 

What the School is Looking For

This permanent Early Years Teacher position will suit candidates who:

  • Hold British QTS or are completing a UK-accredited teacher training programme
  • Graduated with a 2:1 or above from a reputable UK university
  • Have classroom experience within a UK primary or EYFS setting through placements or a substantive post
  • Show clear evidence of structured early years delivery and measurable developmental progress
  • Are legally entitled to work in the UK - visa sponsorship is not available

 

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

 

Salary & Contract

Inner London MPS: £40,317 to £52,300, with UPS up to £62,496. TLR opportunities may be available for candidates with relevant EYFS leadership experience.
