• Supporting positive behaviour, emotional development and pupil engagement.
• Working cohesively with the class teacher and wider school team.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience working in a primary school, nursery or early years setting.
• Knowledge of the EYFS or Reception curriculum.
• Experience supporting children with EAL and/or SEN.
• A patient, nurturing and adaptable approach.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• A genuine passion for early childhood development.
• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service is highly desirable due to the immediate start, as the school is looking to trial candidates as soon as possible.

• A welcoming, community-focused primary school.
• A supportive teaching team.
• Excellent outdoor learning and play facilities.
• A rewarding, long-term opportunity to develop your education career.
