The position is to support the class team in across our classrooms of 2, 3 and 4 year olds. You will have responsibility for a key group of children and along with our team you will support children with additional needs.

You will work inside and in our lovely outdoor areas all year round.
The post also requires good literacy skills and excellent communication skills as you will be expected to liaise with other team members, parents and other professionals from time to time.
We can negotiate the start date to suit you but ideally we would like you to start on 5th January 2026 but we are willing to wait for the right person.
