About Us

Woodlands Primary School is a vibrant, inclusive, and values-driven community, dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where every child, and every adult, thrives. We are committed to delivering high-quality education underpinned by respect, collaboration, individuality, and ambition for all. Our vision is to ensure that every pupil, regardless of their individual needs, is supported to achieve their full potential.

We are excited to offer a rewarding opportunity for an enthusiastic and dedicated EYFS Teacher to join the team in our growing Resource Provision (RP)—a specialist setting within our mainstream school for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This role offers the chance to make a real difference, to work with children in a dynamic and innovative environment, and to develop professionally in a highly supportive team culture. We are looking for a committed team player ready to thrive in a role where collaboration and professional challenge go hand in hand.

The Role

As an EYFS Teacher in our RP, you will plan, deliver, and assess high-quality, personalised learning experiences tailored to the needs of young children with additional learning needs. You will work closely with a dedicated team of Teaching Assistants, the SENCo, the wider EYFS team, and external agencies to create a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment that enables all children to flourish.

You will be part of a collaborative RP team of three teachers, working together to plan, share best practice, and ensure that both staff and pupils are fully supported and can thrive.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality, engaging, and personalised teaching and learning aligned with the EYFS curriculum, adapted to meet the needs of children with SEND.
• Create an inclusive, stimulating, and safe classroom environment that promotes curiosity, independence, and a love of learning.

• Collaborate closely with colleagues, parents, carers, and a range of external professionals to provide holistic support for each child.
• Maintain detailed records of children's progress, using assessment to inform responsive and adaptive planning.
• Communicate effectively and regularly with parents and carers to ensure they are active partners in their child's education.
• Support the emotional, social, and behavioural development of pupils, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and valued at all times.

The Ideal Candidate

We are seeking a passionate and resilient team player who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or is about to receive it, with experience of working within the EYFS phase, experience in SEN or resource provision settings, or a combination of both.
• Demonstrates a strong understanding of the EYFS curriculum and the ability to adapt provision to meet diverse learning needs.
• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and is able to build strong, positive relationships with children, families, and staff.
• Brings creativity, flexibility, and innovation to their teaching practice, with a deep commitment to inclusion and personalised learning.
• Shows patience, empathy, and a strong desire to positively impact the lives of children with special educational needs.
• Is committed to ongoing professional development, is eager to learn, adapt, and grow within a supportive school community.

What We Offer

A highly supportive, committed, and collaborative staff team, passionate about inclusion and achievement for all.

Outstanding professional development opportunities, including high-quality SEN training and leadership development at all levels.

A well-resourced, purpose-built learning environment within a progressive and nurturing school setting.
