Tiny learners, big impact. That’s where you come in.
We’re on the lookout for kind, patient, and energetic Teaching Assistants to support Reception and Nursery pupils across our partner primary schools in Lewisham.

What we’re looking for:
* Experience working with EYFS children in a school or nursery setting
* A nurturing, patient, and playful approach

* Bonus points if you’re familiar with the EYFS framework
What you’ll get from us:
