If you have a passion for education, are able to help support opportunities for learning and progress whether inside or out come rain, hail or shine and love working as part of a team, you could be the person we are looking for!

We are looking to appoint a self-motivated and highly committed Early Years Foundation Stage Apprentice to work within our schools at an exciting time of change. 

You will complete an Early Years Educator level 3 apprenticeship standard.  You may also be required to complete English and maths functional skills (depending on existing qualifications).
