Do you Want to Work With Young Children but Lack Level or Level Qualification Montessori

Posted: Today
Place: Chiswick, London



The House Schools Group (HSG)– Bassett House in North Kensington, Orchard House in Chiswick and Prospect House in Putney offer a year’s placement for on-line learning students studying for the Level 3 or Level 4 Montessori Early Years Educator (EYE) course which starts in September 2021 and finishes in July 2022.
How does it work?
Students offered a provisional placement at one of the House Schools must also apply to the Montessori Centre International (MCI) for enrolment on the EYE course. Once enrolment on the EYE course is confirmed, the year’s placement is usually confirmed,
How much does it cost?
The House Schools pay the MCI fees, provided the student completes the year at his or her chosen school.
Does the school pay the student?
No, the student is not an employee but a bursary is paid.
How will the year be spent?
Students spend the academic year in Early Years classrooms, working alongside qualified teachers, gaining invaluable experience and taking part in other aspects of school life. The hours of work in school are 8.00am to 4.30pm term time only. The 400 hour placement is incorporated into the year.
In their own time, students complete written aspects of the EYE course. All course materials are accessed by the MCI portal using the Virtual Learning environment, Moodle.
An integral part of the course is the two week workshop at the end of July.
Who is eligible?
Applicants must be aged 18 or over and have a minimum of 3 GCSEs to include mathematics and English GCSE at grade C or above (or NARIC statement of comparability for international qualifications.)
Very good spoken and written English is essential and applicants will be assessed on this requirement. If English is not the applicant’s first language he or she must have IELTS (academic) at 6.5 across all areas.
In addition to the above, applicants wishing to gain Level 4 must have one ‘A’ Level at Grade C or above, plus one further ‘A’ Level (or NARIC statement of comparability for international qualifications.)
The placement is hard work but very rewarding. The House Schools are unable to guarantee a job to a student at the end of the placement but, in the past, students have often been appointed to one of the House Schools or to other good nurseries or the EYFS departments of schools. The EYE course is recognised by the DfE and students may work in both the independent or maintained sector.
How do I find out more?
Visits may be arranged directly with one of the schools; this would be an opportunity for any prospective student to hear more about the course. Prospective students are encouraged to allow at least an hour for their initial visit. You should also visit our website to see more details and to download an application form.
The House Schools Group is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children: applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and an enhanced check with the Disclosure and Barring Service.
