West Lodge School in Sidcup is seeking to appoint a qualified, kind and empathetic Nursery Nurse or TA to act as temporary cover in our Nursery (children aged 3 and 4).
West Lodge is an inclusive and non-selective one form entry prep school with a reputation for high academic standards but places much emphasis upon individual pupil progress. The school has a warm and welcoming reputation with a friendly and highly committed team of staff led by a leadership team which greatly values the efforts of all of the staff. West Lodge is a small school with the vision of a much larger educational establishment and a unique atmosphere. We are confident that the successful candidate will thoroughly enjoy being part of our school.
With 22 children in a class, starting at Nursery, the children benefit from specialist teaching and a wide ranging extra-curricular programme with significant strengths in computing, music, art and sport. School is fun and the growth mindset philosophy underpins all aspects of school life and this helps to create the positive atmosphere that is central to being a pupil at West Lodge.
Although definitely a temporary role there may be the opportunity for a future position at the school should there be staff changes in the future. You will enjoy a competitive salary, a complimentary school lunch and excellent working conditions.
