The Maria Montessori Institute offers vibrant, joyful and authentic Montessori environments across Hampstead, Notting Hill and Bayswater. We are a well-established and highly regarded school community, committed to high-quality Montessori practice, where both children and adults thrive.

We are currently looking for Montessori Assistants to join our Children’s House (3–6) Flex Team as bank cover, across our Hampstead, Notting Hill and Bayswater sites, from September 2026.

This is a genuine entry point into our community, with real opportunities to grow into further roles.

• Care for the environment and create materials to support children’s learning
• Support children through transitions to lunch and playtime in collaboration with the teaching team
• Build warm, consistent relationships with children and colleagues, supporting each child’s development with care and respect

About You

We are looking for someone who:

• Is genuinely interested in the Montessori approach and enjoys working with children aged 3–6
• Is warm, reliable and adaptable
• Is committed to safeguarding, equity and inclusion
• Can offer availability at short notice and is comfortable working flexibly across sites

A Montessori Diploma and experience with young children are ideal, though we welcome applications from those earlier in their training journey.
