This is a secondment opportunity, fixed term to March 2028. Job share opportunities would be considered. Are you passionate about early language development and ready to make a transformative impact on how young children communicate? Tyneside Early Years Practice Hub, part of NEAT Academy Trust, is looking for an Early Years Learning Lead (Language) to play a central role in driving high-quality, evidence-informed practice across our region. Backed by the Department for Education's Best Start in Life strategy, you will empower early years educators, coach setting teams, and build strong local networks to ensure every child gets the communication foundation they deserve. As an Early Language Lead (ELL) based within our Hub, you will work closely with PSED and Early Maths Leads to deliver high-quality continuous professional development and provide targeted, subject-specific support to settings across Gateshead, Newcastle, and North Tyneside. Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs provide advice, share good practice and offer evidence-based professional development for early years practitioners. The Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs programme launched in November 2022 and is supported by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the National Children's Bureau (NCB). Stepping into the Early Language Lead (ELL) role isn't just about supporting others-it's an opportunity to advance your own career, deepen your expertise, and build your regional profile. Here is how the role will benefit you:
- Expand your skill set beyond classroom delivery by mastering coaching models, strategic improvement planning, and bespoke action planning for early years settings.
- The opportunity to Collaborate directly with local authorities, English Hubs, Family Hubs, and local speech and language therapy services, establishing yourself as a key local expert.
- Work directly with evidence-informed frameworks supported by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), putting you at the forefront of early childhood education research and practice.
- Receive comprehensive, expert-led training designed by DfE-appointed Subject Matter Experts.
