Are you an experienced Nursery Assistant or Early Years Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding new opportunity this September? We are seeking caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated individuals to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in a range of educational settings. Your early years experience provides an excellent foundation for working with children who need additional support. The skills you've developed in nurturing children's development, building positive relationships, encouraging communication, and adapting learning through play are highly transferable and invaluable in SEND environments.

• Can build trusting relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
• Are confident supporting children's communication, social, emotional, and developmental needs.
• Enjoy working as part of a supportive team.
• Have a proactive, flexible, and positive approach to learning and development.

Why Your Skills Matter: Children with SEND often thrive with adults who understand child development, can adapt activities to meet individual needs, and create safe, engaging, and nurturing learning environments. Your experience in early years equips you with the empathy, creativity, and resilience needed to make a real difference in SEND settings.

What We Offer:

• £94–£100 per day, depending on experience.
• September 2026 start.
• Flexible opportunities to suit your availability.
