What the role involves
You'll be working closely with the class teacher to support children in Nursery, helping them settle, learn, and thrive. Experience supporting pupils with SEN would be a real advantage, as would a good working knowledge of the EYFS framework.

— GCSE English & Maths at Grade C/4 or above
— A DBS on the update service, or willingness to apply for a new one
— Patience, warmth, and a genuine passion for Early Years
— Someone reliable, professional, and ready to hit the ground running
What you'll get working with Connex
— £85–£95 per day, paid weekly — no waiting around
— Free access to our accredited CPD platform with 2,500+ courses
— A dedicated consultant who'll support you throughout your placement
— Trainee teacher apprenticeship pathways if you want to progress
— A wellbeing programme and refresher training built for modern classrooms
— 25 years of relationships with great schools across Liverpool and Merseyside
Why Connex?
We're not a call centre. When you work with us, you'll have one consultant who knows your name, your strengths, and your preferences — and who'll work hard to find you the right school, not just any school.
