Junior School Teaching Assistant (EYFS)

We are looking for an outstanding, qualified, and enthusiastic teaching assistant to join our junior school. This role will work across Early Years and KS1 on a fixed term contract, working term time only (35 weeks).

The junior school is an integral part of the larger school and is located in a spacious woodland setting with its own purpose-built facilities and play areas. There is a nurturing and encouraging approach to each child's development whilst ensuring appropriate academic rigour and monitoring of progress. Through a broad and forward-looking curriculum, we aim to embed creative and independent learning as an intrinsic part of the curriculum.

The successful candidate will have a relevant Early Years Educator (EYE) level 3 qualification (or equivalent) or be studying towards one with experience of working with children across the age range 2 ½ to 7 years. They will have a contagious enthusiasm and a genuine love of working with children, able to see the potential in every child. A willingness to contribute to the co-curricular and pastoral life of the school is essential. In return you can expect all the benefits of a thriving independent school: a competitive salary, pension, professional development, cycle scheme, lunches in term time and free parking.
