Are you looking for a career where your “office” is a world of curiosity, messy play, and “lightbulb” moments? Do you want to earn while you learn in an environment that truly values its staff? At Sherwell Valley, we believe the first steps in education are the most important. We are looking for a dedicated, creative, and energetic Early Years Educator Apprentice to join our EYFS team.
- Be a Co‑Creator of Joy: Help design and set up inspiring learning environments – from mud kitchens and sensory bins to cosy reading corners.
- Support Early Milestones: Work alongside expert colleagues to support children as they develop their first skills in phonics, numbers, and social interaction.
- Observe & Assess: Learn the “why” behind the “how,” gaining hands‑on experience in tracking child development and planning “next steps” for our youngest learners.
- Champion Wellbeing: Be a warm, reassuring presence for children and parents during those crucial early years of school life.
- Earn Your Credentials: Benefit from dedicated study time and 1‑on‑1 mentoring to help you ace your Level 3 qualification and become a fully qualified Early Years Educator.
- A Gold‑Standard Start: Join an “Incredible” school with a reputation for nurturing staff.
- We don’t just want you to pass; we want you to thrive.
- Real Responsibility: You won’t be stuck at the photocopier. You’ll be on the floor, in the thick of the action, making a real difference to children’s lives.
- Future Prospects: We have a proven track record of retaining our apprentices and helping them transition into their new early years career. A genuine love for working with children ages 2-5 and a “roll‑up‑your‑sleeves” attitude (and a tolerance for glitter!) are essential.
- Excellent communication skills with children, parents/carers and colleagues.
- A commitment to learning and a desire to be the best educator you can be.
- Eligibility: Over 16, ideally with GCSE English at a minimum.
The apprenticeship will be through Education & Skills Training and Development. The learner would need to be over the age of 16 to start an apprenticeship and is required to undergo child protection screening, including a basic full name search.
This post falls into the category of Regulated Activity. Sherwell Valley Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
