Contract type: Fixed term from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025

The Governors are seeking to appoint a full-time and part-time trainee teacher from 1 September 2024 until 31 August 2025.

We require an enthusiastic Early Years Trainee Teacher to join our friendly, hardworking team in September. We are looking for someone who is committed to a child-centred approach with a good understanding of early years practice. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your teaching skills and knowledge alongside outstanding early years practitioners within a supportive environment and you will also be released from school to follow the Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) programme.

The successful applicant will be a graduate, undertaking EYITT through an employment based route and will therefore need to meet the entry requirements for this course. All applicants must hold an honours degree awarded by a UK higher education institution or equivalent, all applicants must also have passed GCSE Maths, Science and English at Grade C or above before they commence their training year.

During the last six years, we have had seven candidates successfully follow this course some of whom have converted this to QTS. Our teachers have gone on to be promoted to positions in both primary and nursery schools, including Headship. We are looking for someone who is ambitious, prepared to work hard, use their initiative and share our high aspirations for our school. At our last two Ofsted Inspections (December 2013, May 2018 and February 2024) we were graded as "OUTSTANDING" in every single aspect of the inspection. "The achievement of all children is outstanding. Regardless of starting points or any barriers to learning, each child receives the care and support they need to make excellent progress."

Birmingham City Council has been selected to become one of 20 Local Authorities to offer a Financial Incentive Pilot (FIP) grant. This provides new recruits with £1000 "Golden Hello payment" after Tax and National Insurance. Term & Conditions apply. The incentive is for anyone new in the early years sector or returning to the sector after 6 months.

How to apply:

Please download and complete the attached application form and return to or 275 Marsh Hill, Erdington, Birmingham, B23 7HG

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to all necessary pre-employment checks, including: an enhanced DBS; Prohibition check; Childcare Disqualification (where applicable); qualifications (where applicable); medical fitness; identity and right to work. All applicants will be required to provide two suitable references.

Rehabilitation of offenders: This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020. Which means that when applying for certain jobs and activities certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected', so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Further information about filtering offences can be found in the DBS filtering guide.

An online search will also be carried out as part of due diligence on all short-listed candidates.
