At Glenesk Pre-Prep and Nursery School, we specialise in providing an exceptional educational foundation for children between the age of 2 and 7 years old. We believe that childhood should be a time of wonder, exploration, and joy. That’s why we make it our mission to ensure that your child’s day is filled with special moments of Glenesk magic, every day.
The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Early Years Learning Support Assistant to join our fantastic team.
As an Early Years Support Assistant at Glenesk School, you will play a vital role in supporting a child’s learning, welfare, and personal development.

You have a good understanding of child development and safeguarding, and you can adapt activities to meet individual needs. Ideally, you hold a relevant childcare or education qualification and have experience working with young children, either professionally or voluntarily.
