Nursery Class Teaching Assistant
New Today
Full-time | Starting ASAP | Competitive Salary
Are you passionate about early years education and looking for a role where you can truly make an impact from the very start of a child’s learning journey?
An exceptional independent school in London is seeking a warm, enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join their vibrant Nursery team. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a nurturing, high-quality Early Years setting where creativity, care and development go hand in hand.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another Teaching Assistant role, it’s a chance to be part of a setting that genuinely values child-led learning, curiosity and emotional development. You’ll work in a collaborative and supportive environment where your ideas are welcomed and your growth is encouraged.
About the Role
Working closely with the class teacher, you’ll play a key role in delivering engaging EYFS learning experiences while supporting children’s day-to-day routines in a caring and structured way.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 4:00pm
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting the delivery of fun, engaging and developmentally appropriate EYFS activities
- Helping to create inspiring and well-organised learning environments
- Providing one-to-one and small group support tailored to individual needs
- Encouraging independence, confidence and social development through play
- Assisting with personal care routines in a safe and nurturing manner
- Contributing to observations and assessments to support each child’s progress
- Building positive relationships with children, staff and parents
- Upholding safeguarding and health & safety standards at all times
- NVQ Level 3 in Childcare/Early Years (essential)
- Experience working with children aged 2–5 in a nursery or school setting
- A strong understanding of the EYFS framework
- A caring, patient and proactive approach
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
- First Aid and Safeguarding training (desirable, but can be provided)
- A welcoming, child-centred environment where every child is valued
- A supportive and friendly team who love what they do
- Opportunities for ongoing training and career development
- A well-respected independent school with a strong Early Years reputation
If you’re ready to take the next step in your Early Years career and join a school where you can truly make a difference, I’d love to hear from you.
