Nursery Teaching Assistant – Level 3 Early Years Qualification
Islington, North London | £95–£100 per day | Term Time Only
Are you an experienced Early Years professional looking for a rewarding role in a forward-thinking and nurturing environment? We are excited to be recruiting a Nursery Teaching Assistant for a new and growing primary school in Islington.
This is a full-time, temporary position starting 2 February 2026, working 8:30am–3:30pm, term time only. The Nursery currently has 24 children, with 17 pupils presenting additional needs, including early signs of ASD and ADHD. As such, the school is seeking a Level 3 qualified Early Years practitioner to support ratios and provide high-quality, consistent support.
The Role:
• Support children within the Nursery following the EYFS curriculum
• Work closely alongside the class teacher and another teaching assistant
• Provide targeted support for children with additional and emerging needs
• Help create a calm, structured and engaging learning environment
• Promote positive behaviour, communication and early development
The Ideal Candidate:
• Holds a Level 3 Early Years qualification (essential)
• Is confident supporting children with SEN, including ASD and ADHD
• Has a strong understanding of the EYFS framework
• Is patient, proactive and passionate about inclusive education
• Enjoys working as part of a close, collaborative team
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• A new school with a fresh, inclusive approach
• Excellent staff retention and a genuinely happy, supportive team
• Children and staff who enjoy being at school and feel valued
• Competitive pay of £95–£100 per day
If you’re looking for a meaningful Early Years role where your skills will be truly valued, this could be an incredible next step.
