Wyndham Park Nursery School is an Local Authority Maintained Nursery School and we are looking for a childcare assistant to join our small, friendly and dedicated staff team.

Ideally you would have experience of working with young children with SEND as initially, this role will be to support a range of children with additional needs through in-class interventions and support. You will also be supporting children in our breakfast club.

The position is for 33.75 hours a week, Monday to Friday 7.30am to 2.45pm, during term time plus attendance at training days.

You must have an NVQ level 2 or 3 in childcare or a similar qualification

You will work under the direction of our excellent teachers and alongside our Early Years Practitioners who will support you. However, the ability to work on your own initiative is essential as you will be expected to use it to support children’s learning and development on a daily basis through small group sessions and during continuous provision. It is desirable that applicants will have good working knowledge of child development as well as previous experience of planning and assessing with reference to the EYFS curriculum.

You must have a passion for helping with children’s learning and a love of spending time following in the playful pursuits of 2, 3- and 4-year olds! You must be patient, kind and a great listener of children. Calmness, a good sense of humour and the ability to build relationships are essential qualities.

The post also requires good literacy skills and excellent communication skills as you will be expected to liaise with other team members, parents and other professionals from time to time.

We can negotiate the start date to suit you but we would like this to be as soon as possible due to our growing numbers.

This post is initially temporary until August 2025 but it is likely that it could become a permanent position pending number of children on roll in the future.
