Cradle to Crayon and Springhall School provides an engaging, inspirational and caring education for young children, following the UK National Curriculum. We engage children with the cultural diversity of our unique location for a truly international experience. the school embraces everything that is good about prestigious British schools and the UK curriculum and unites an international perspective with a Nigerian touch.

What we are looking for:

  • A motivated individual that likes to share the passion for teaching with children and see them learn, develop, and grow, both socially and academically under his/her care;
  • A reflective leader, passionate about EYFS learning, focused on child-centred education;

  • A leading practitioner, capable of modelling effective methodology and practice to inspire Early Years team members; you will play a key role in leading school improvement and  translate the school vision into best practice;
     
  • A visionary and creative person implementing high standards and active learning across the Early Years curriculum;

Requirements

  • A  subject specialist degree from a reputable institution
  • Experience of teaching in the UK or at a British International School overseas

  • Knowledge of EYFS curriculum

  • Experience in EYFS proved by an inspection report.

You will also find yourself working and living in a safe, caring and interesting environment both in and outside of school in a modern and vibrant city, with excellent international and local airport links. Abuja is a pleasant place to live. As the newly developed capital city, and in clear contrast to the former capital, Lagos, Abuja is safe, clean and well-organised. It is the seat of government and home to many foreign Embassies and High Commissions. Traffic flows freely along wide, tree-lined roads, and the presence of a high-level political and diplomatic community, as well as the large number of important international conferences, held there, ensure that Abuja is presented and preserved as a flagship city for Nigeria. Abuja is, apparently, the fastest-growing capital city in the world!

Nigerians are friendly, and willing to share their culture and experience if interest is shown. Local travel outside Abuja is possible, though at times it can be a little difficult. For the more adventurous, Nigeria is a fascinating country to explore.  

We strongly encourage applications before the deadline, as we will begin recruitment and employment for this position as soon as this advert is published.
