Are you looking for a meaningful role in Preston where you can support the youngest learners in their most formative years? We are seeking a patient and energetic EYFS Teaching Assistant / Support Worker to join our dedicated Primary SEN provision.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or an unqualified individual with a natural talent for engaging with children, this role offers the perfect balance of challenge and emotional reward.

The Role: Impact from Day One

In this specialist EYFS setting, you will be the helping hand for children with a range of Special Educational Needs.

You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team in Preston, ensuring that every child-regardless of their starting point-feels safe, happy, and ready to learn.

  • Work-Life Balance: Consistent term-time hours that fit around your life.

  • Community: Join a supportive Primary SEN school known for its inclusive culture and staff wellbeing.

Are You the Right Fit?

We are looking for someone who is resilient, proactive, and truly enjoys the "magic" of the Early Years. If you can stay calm during a meltdown, celebrate the "tiny" victories, and have a genuine desire to work within the Preston SEN community, we want to meet you.
