    An exciting opportunity has arisen for a skilled and enthusiastic Early Years Practitioner to work in Canaan Lane Primary School, a new school which opened a year ago in the south of Edinburgh. The school currently consists of two Primary 1 classes, two Primary 2 classes and an Early Learning and Childcare facility.

    Within the school, there are nurturing, creative and well-resourced learning environments where learners are supported and encouraged to discover a love of learning. Outside, there are inspiring and vibrant spaces which reflect our vision for daily access to outdoor learning.

    We are seeking to appoint an Early Years Practitioner with a passion for working within our Primary 1 team. This post represents an excellent opportunity to be working as part of our innovative and creative P1 learning environment where our learners are empowered to discover and build on their interests, share ideas and be motivated to learn.

    At Canaan Lane, we are not only committed to providing the very best educational experiences and opportunities but also to develop our learners as leaders and responsible citizens. We are committed to developing relationships based on mutual trust and support. We strive to be at the heart of our school community and develop skills to enable effective contributions to our local community and the wider world.

    Candidates who are passionate about play-based learning, wellbeing, inclusive practice, nurture and can demonstrate a commitment to nurturing approaches are invited to apply for this post.

    Applicants should be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills and model high standards of pedagogy to inspire, motivate and support colleagues in the development of their own classroom practice.
