Applications are invited for the role of Early Years Leader at Ruspini House. This is an ideal opportunity for a highly qualified professional to be part of an excellent and well-established Pre-School that extends the RMS experience to children aged 2-4.

We are a small, friendly, caring community within the larger RMS family, guided by the same inclusive and nurturing ethos. RMS is a leading independent girls’ day/boarding School with around 1000 day and boarding pupils aged 2 to 18, over 350 teaching and support staff and situated on a 200-acre parkland site near Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire.

At Ruspini House we provide a safe, secure environment that is rich and stimulating where all children can develop to become curious, independent learners.  We strive to be a beacon of excellence in early year’s provision, prioritising three key ingredients, highly trained staff, an enabling well-resourced environment, and a balance between child and teacher-led learning. Our highly qualified team offers each child exemplary care and exciting learning opportunities. 

As an Early Years Leader you will be responsible for one of our pre-school classrooms and have overall responsibility for the implementation of the Early Years Foundation Stage, as well as well as supervision of staff within that room.
