Full-time | Start September 2026
We’re currently working with a really lovely primary school in the BB11 area of Burnley who are looking to welcome a new EYFS Teacher to their team from September 2026.
This is one of those schools that people speak highly of for a reason. It has a great reputation locally, a supportive leadership team, and a real sense of community. Staff tend to stay because they’re looked after, and there’s a genuinely positive atmosphere across the school. It’s also in a really handy location, so getting there from around Burnley and surrounding areas is straightforward.

* Supporting pupils’ development socially, emotionally and academically

Who this would suit
The school is open to both ECTs and experienced teachers (up to M6). If you’re early in your career, you’ll be well supported. If you’ve been teaching a while, your experience will be valued.
More than anything, they’re looking for someone who:
* Enjoys working with younger children and understands how they learn
* Brings energy and ideas into the classroom
* Is reliable, approachable and a team player
* Wants to be part of a school community, not just a workplace
What you can expect
