EYFS Teaching Assistant - Level 3 Qualified, Coventry
Some children arrive not yet sure what school is supposed to feel like. Helping them find their feet, settle into a routine, and start to trust the adults around them - that's the heart of this role.
A welcoming mainstream school in Coventry is looking for a full-time EYFS/KS1 Teaching Assistant to start as soon as possible. It's a long-term placement with a genuine possibility of becoming permanent from September. If you've got your Level 3 EYFS qualification, some early years classroom experience, and you're looking for a role where you can stay, grow, and make a real difference, this is worth your time.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Supporting the class teacher across EYFS and KS1 year groups with day-to-day learning activities
* Working 1:1 with individual pupils and with small groups, adapting your approach to each child's needs
* Helping to create a calm, predictable environment where young children feel safe enough to learn
* Observing and recording pupil progress, feeding back to the class teacher as part of a collaborative team
* Covering a 1-hour midday supervisory duty, with a 30-minute lunch break included
* Being a consistent, trusted presence across the school day, inside and outside the classroom
* Contributing to an inclusive school culture built on genuine care for every child
We're looking for someone who:
* Holds a Level 3 EYFS qualification - this is a requirement for the role
* Has at least 6 months' UK EYFS experience in a school or nursery setting
* Holds a Paediatric First Aid certificate, or is willing to work towards one (desirable)
* Has some experience supporting children with additional needs - autism, ADHD, or SLCN in particular
* Is patient, calm, and naturally good at building warm relationships with young children
* Understands that early years support is about nurture as much as learning
* Is reliable and genuinely committed to a full-time, long-term placement - this school needs consistency
What's on offer:
* Full-time hours, Monday to Friday, 8:45am to 3:10pm
* Up to £100 per day, depending on experience
* A supportive school with a strong inclusion ethos and a settled, welcoming team
* A long-term placement with a real possibility of permanent employment from September
Why Sprint?

But if you're passionate about supporting students with additional needs and want a long-term role where you can build consistency and see the impact of your work every day, that's exactly what we do.
