10.5 hours per week
Permanent - Required from 1st January 2025
The Governors of St Oswald’s CE Aided Primary & Nursery School are seeking to appoint an excellent early years practitioner. You will mainly work with our 2-year-olds but may also work with our older children.
The successful candidate will become part of a committed and successful team who have high expectations and demonstrate a caring attitude towards our children’s academic and pastoral development. Our pupils need a practitioner who will take an interest in them as individuals and who will ensure that they make excellent progress both socially and academically.
The working pattern is 12.45-18.00: Monday and Tuesday, term time only.
Calculation of term time only plus two weeks’ pay
Term time only plus two additional weeks’ pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
• Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
• Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
• Two additional weeks, inclusive of CPD – 2 weeks; plus
• Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:
Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 47 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service:
40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 48 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
The successful applicant will be an Early Years Practitioner who meets our essential criteria (and desirable) as outlined in the person specification for this post.
Potential candidates are very welcome to contact the school for further information about the advertised posts.
Applicants must hold a qualification that meets the approved ‘full and relevant’ criteria for Early Years qualifications and inclusion in staffing ratios.
