Location: London

Are you an experienced early years professional looking to pass on your knowledge to the next generation of practitioners?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in London and the surrounding area, delivering early years teaching across classroom and practical settings. You'll plan sessions that build the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours learners need to progress into employment or further study.

You'll assess learner progress, give constructive feedback and help maintain a supportive, inclusive learning environment that reflects current sector practice.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging early years lessons.
  • Teaching learners across a range of levels.
  • Assessing learner progress and providing constructive feedback.
  • Maintaining accurate learner records.
  • Embedding English and maths within vocational learning.
  • Contributing to high standards of teaching, learning and assessment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Level 3 qualification in early years (or equivalent)
  • Experience within the early years sector
  • Confidence working with learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification
  • Previous experience teaching in a further education setting

If you're ready to bring your early years experience into the classroom, we'd love to hear from you.
