EYFS & Nursery Staff

Do you have experience working in childcare or playgroups? Or perhaps you may have experience of working in primary schools or Nursery settings.

We need staff to work in the exciting role of childcare across Scarborough. Due to a number of Nursery schools getting in touch requiring staff both on a permanent and short term basis, we need more practitioners!  Are you looking for the opportunity to work in the fast paced, exciting and varied Early Years sector? Talk to Teaching Personnel! 

We need forward thinking, compassionate and dynamic people who love the idea of interacting and engaging with young people, gearing their interaction towards learning and attainment. Are you ready to have the opportunity to shape the future of a child and give them essential input into their development? Read on!

We need Level 2 and Level 3 Teaching Assistants to work in nurseries to support children under 5 years old. Be ready to have an innovative approach to childhood development, allow children to be free to explore their boundaries and perceptions, follow their imagination wherever that may lead and guide that imagination toward beneficial learning. With the SEN needs of children in early years settings becoming more prevalent and common due to lockdowns, experience of SEN would be desirable.

Qualification Required

The ideal candidates would possess a level 2/3 qualification in childhood or childcare, education studies, or similar relevant qualification.

Skills

The correct candidate will have experience in the following:

• Planning and observation of Early Years children to support and push development and progress
• Using IT based progression tools, such as Ipads, Tablets and computers to record their progress through pictures and videos (EG. Tapestry)
• Realising child development through observation and assessment
• Experience in the 'Personal Care' side of Nurturing Children (needs will vary for setting to setting, but the skill will be required when called upon)

Other skills that would be desirable would be:

• Skills appropriate to Speech and Language therapy or development
• Energetic and Vibrant approach to Childcare
• Caring and Nurturing personality
• Skills in Speaking and Listening observation
• A happy and fun persona to match the feel of the nursery environment

The Role

We work in partnership with Nurseries and EYFS school settings across Scarborough, but also work with settings in areas such as Whitby, Pickering, Filey, Malton and all in between! As such, access to transport is preferred and we require good availability to undertake bookings both with and without notice. We will offer work at schools that you can reach.

The day to day activity will be centred around small groups of children in your responsibility, or as part of a team supporting a larger group of children. As the Nursery Class Assistant you will engage the children in daily activities that will strengthen progression and monitor progress, and as a result plan your next day with a view to pushing their development in line with expectations and abilities. Basic behaviour management skills will be required to maintain an effective environment. Using your caring, loving and passionate approach, you will provide  children with a safe and happy place in which to explore their own abilities, feeling included and valued along the way.

If you have the experience/ capability, you may also undertake work with children on a 1-1 basis, to support with SEN needs.

You will aim to give the children the best possible start to their learning experience, and you will love to share in their success!
