The earliest years of a child's education are the most important - be part of making them extraordinary.

We are recruiting an enthusiastic and nurturing EYFS Teaching Assistant for a welcoming primary school in Pinner, Harrow. If you have a natural warmth with young children and a genuine belief in the power of play, curiosity and kindness to unlock early learning - this role was made for you.

About the role

Working in Nursery and Reception, you will support children at the very beginning of their school journey - a time when the foundations of literacy, numeracy, communication and social confidence are being laid. Your role is to make every child feel safe, seen and ready to explore.

Under the direction of the class teacher, you will work across the EYFS learning environment both indoors and outdoors, supporting planned activities, observing children's progress, encouraging language development and helping pupils with any additional needs to access the full curriculum.

This is a school that takes early years seriously. The EYFS team is experienced, collaborative and passionate, and they are looking for a Teaching Assistant who shares that passion and brings consistency, energy and care to every session.

  • A warm, nurturing approach and genuine love of working with young children
  • Confidence supporting early phonics, communication and language development
  • Ability to follow the class teacher's direction and contribute positively to the learning environment
  • Experience supporting children with SEND, EAL or additional needs is a real advantage
  • Reliability, patience and a calm, positive presence
  • An enhanced DBS on the update service, or willingness to apply for one

What you will gain

  • A role at the heart of the most formative stage of a child's education
  • Experience in a well-resourced, supportive and inspiring EYFS environment
  • A collaborative team around you - the class teacher and EYFS lead will support your development
  • The daily reward of watching young children grow in confidence and capability
  • Access to CPD opportunities that build your early years expertise and career
