Job description

Level 3 Teaching Assistant – Isle of Sheppey

We are on the hunt for an experienced Level 3 Teaching Assistant to bring energy, empathy, and creativity to their nursery team. If you know your way around messy play, toddler logic, and the art of turning snack time into a social event, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll be joining a warm, supportive setting attached to the main primary school, where teamwork thrives and little imaginations run wild (in the best way).

Contract: Full time – from September until at least July 2026

Salary: £90-£100 per day

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting learning and play in a nurturing early years environment
• Encouraging curiosity, independence, and emotional development
• Assisting with daily routines and building strong bonds with children and families
• Working closely with the class teacher and fellow TAs to deliver engaging activities
• Bringing patience, enthusiasm and a genuine love for the early years

What we’re looking for:

• Level 3 Early Years or Teaching Assistant qualification (essential)
• Solid experience in early years settings — you get the EYFS rhythm
• Someone who’s calm under pressure and quick with a smile
• A real team player with a warm, caring approach
• Ready to roll up sleeves and get involved (glitter and all)

Benefits:

• Access to tailored professional development and CPD opportunities.
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
• Competitive pay rates and flexible working options.
• Opportunities to connect with a network of educators and schools.
• Referral bonus scheme – Earn up to £150 when you refer a friend.
