About the Role

You will be working within the school’s well-established Early Years team, supporting children aged 3–5 as they take their first steps into education.

• A strong understanding of the EYFS framework and early child development

• Patience, empathy, and flexibility, particularly when supporting children with SEN

• A positive, proactive approach and a genuine passion for supporting young learners

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

• A relevant qualification (e.g., Level 2 or 3 in Childcare, Early Years, or Supporting Teaching and Learning) is desirable but not essential
