Do you believe that all behaviour is a communication?  Do you foster every interaction as an intervention?  Do you enjoy working with pupils to build their emotional resilience and their sense of belonging and enjoyment of school?  Do you want an opportunity to make a difference to a child's life?

At Easington Colliery Primary School, we run a nurture provision, focussed on the Nuture UK Model.  As well as supporting our own pupils, we currently support children from other schools within our Nurture Hub. 

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who either already has nurture experience or has an interest in nurture, to further develop their skills.  High quality, regular CPD is provided in this role.  Easington Colliery Primary School is a flagship school for Inclusion and we are excited to welcome someone new to our already outstanding staff team.  

The hours are 8.00am-4.00pm Monday to Friday (Fridays finish is 3.30pm) with 30 minutes for lunch.  

Duties and responsibilities as outlined in the job description.
The Governing Body is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Any offer of employment will be subject to receipt of a satisfactory DBS check.

The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.  

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and, if successful, you will need to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.

As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.
 
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

Closing date: Monday 9th December 2024 at 12 noon
Please return completed applications to the school.
