Summary
Nursery Nurse - Early Years ALN Support
Cardiff | £95+ per day | Full-time | Term-time only
Some children just need a little more help to find their voice.
We're working with a specialist early years setting in Cardiff that supports young children with additional learning needs including autism, communication difficulties and complex developmental needs.
The team are looking for a patient, nurturing Nursery Nurse who understands that progress for some children might be learning to sit with a group, communicate a need, or simply feel safe enough to explore their environment.
If you enjoy working in early years but want a role where the work genuinely matters, this could be a brilliant fit.
This isn't a typical nursery role.
You'll spend your time helping young children:
• develop communication and interaction skills
• explore sensory play and structured learning activities
• build trust and confidence with adults
• regulate emotions and feel safe in the classroom
• take part in routines that build independence
Some children may require additional support with personal care or mobility, so the role requires someone who is comfortable providing hands-on support where needed.
The school aren't looking for someone perfect on paper.
They're looking for someone who is:
-
naturally calm and patient

-

Many successful staff in this setting have backgrounds in:

Staff often tell us they stay because:
• the team genuinely support each other
• training is built into the role
• children make progress in ways that really matter
• every day feels meaningful
£95+ per day starting pay
Support from people who understand education
Ongoing ALN and behaviour training
Long-term opportunities within specialist settings
If you enjoy working with young children and want to be part of a team that makes a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.
