We are hoping to appoint a fantastic Teaching Assistant to join our busy, happy school, strengthening a team of nursery practitioners working with a high level of additional needs.
This is a temporary contract, in the first instance, for the Spring and Summer terms of 2026.
The role will involve working to support and enhance learning through flexible provision and interactions, including meeting additional needs - sometimes in a mainstream context, sometimes in much smaller groups.
What are we looking for? This post is ideal for someone who is a great team player, who is creative and enjoys problem-solving, who is full of good humour and - above all - who is keen to explore a very rewarding role as part of our friendly and supportive whole school team.
You'll need to have experience in working with children with additional needs and Early Years learners, preferably within an EAL setting.
You'll also need to meet the requirements of the Job Description (attached as a document) for this post, so please make sure your application covers those points.
What can we offer?
Support, challenge, teamwork, professional development, a fantastic community of children, parents and staff, and the opportunity to make a difference every day.
If you’d like to know more about us and about this role, we’d love you to get in touch.
Visits to the school are very welcome – please telephone the school to make an appointment.
Closing date: Monday 12th January 2026, 9am
Interviews to be held: TBC
