The Downs Preparatory School is a successful, independent day school for pupils aged four to 13 years. Situated five miles from Bristol, Clevedon and Portishead, the school and its thriving nursery are set within 60 acres of glorious parkland.

We offer a stunning setting, excellent facilities and a talented team of supportive colleagues. We strive to employ outstanding, educational practitioners as ultimately they determine the success of the children and the school in the future.

We require a caring individual who will provide excellent modelling, encouragement and nurture. Experience of working with a child on a 1:1 basis is desirable.

The Downs is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media account names/handles, as part of their application. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children."
