Working in Nursery and Reception, you will support children at the very beginning of their school journey - a time when the foundations of literacy, numeracy, communication and social confidence are being laid. Your role is to make every child feel safe, seen and ready to explore.
Under the direction of the class teacher, you will work across the EYFS learning environment both indoors and outdoors, supporting planned activities, observing children's progress, encouraging language development and helping pupils with any additional needs to access the full curriculum.
This is a school that takes early years seriously. The EYFS team is experienced, collaborative and passionate, and they are looking for a Teaching Assistant who shares that passion and brings consistency, energy and care to every session.
