What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking an experienced EYFS Assistant to support our EYFS setting. You will work closely with the classroom teacher, providing directed support and supervision to one specific child with Special Educational Needs. Your duties may also include supporting the class as a whole.
The aim of your support and guidance will be to enable that child to access the curriculum and to facilitate full inclusion into school life, supporting them to learn as independently as possible and to develop to their full potential.
You will be expected to use considerable initiative and contribute to planning over the short and medium term. The work will involve responding independently to unexpected problems and situations, exercising good professional judgement. You will also be required to provide self-care needs.
You will aid the student to learn as effectively as possible both in group situations and on their own, establish supportive relationships with the student concerned, promote the acceptance and inclusion of students with SEN, encouraging students to interact with each other in an appropriate and acceptable manner and monitor the students’ responses to the learning activities and, where appropriate, modify or adapt the activities as agreed with the teacher to achieve the intended learning outcomes.
You will be able to form and maintain appropriate professional relationships with students and adults working in the school. You will enjoy the challenge of contributing positively to the work, ethos and values of the school and be willing to go above and beyond in this important role.
Experience of supporting children with social and communication needs and working in an EYFS setting would be advantageous.

United Learning schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could.

It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
