• A strong understanding of early childhood development and the EYFS curriculum
• Experience supporting children with additional needs (desirable but not essential)
• A nurturing, patient and empathetic approach to working with young learners
• Willingness to complete relevant training, including safeguarding and personal care

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a welcoming school community and play a key role in helping a child flourish during their crucial early years.

Apply now to begin a highly rewarding role this December.
