  • Ensuring IEPs (Individual Education Plans) are followed and implemented effectively

  • Assisting in creating a stimulating, safe and inclusive learning environment

  • Helping with assessments, observations and record-keeping as directed by teachers

  • Contributing to the smooth running of the class, including preparation of resources and supervision at playtimes

Candidate Requirements

  • Previous experience in an Early Years setting is essential

  • A Level 3 qualification in Early Years/Education (e.g. CACHE Level 3) is strongly preferred

  • Knowledge of EYFS and strategies for supporting children with SEN
