We are an independent pre-preparatory and nursery school for 75 girls and boys aged 3-7 years, previously known as The New School. In 2021, we became part of the Exeter School family.
The pre-prep school is in a former Victorian chapel on a private, wide, tree-lined avenue within an acre of grounds. Just three miles from central Exeter in the village of Exminster, it provides an oasis of calm from the bustle of city life.
We are seeking an Early Years Practitioner to join our small, friendly professional team on a permanent basis for 2 days a week, from 23 February 2026. The successful applicant will act as a Nursery classroom assistant, supporting children aged 3-4 years old both inside and outside the classroom with their learning and pastoral care.

They will have the ability to assist children on an individual basis, in small group and whole class work (maximum class size 16 children).
This role is part of our operations and professional services team. This is a term time contract working from 8am to on Thursdays and Fridays (18 hours) for 36 weeks per year.
This is an onsite role.
