We are seeking a kind, compassionate, and committed individual to join our Early Years Team as a Healthcare Assistant.

The ideal candidate will be a team player, someone who is positive and enthusiastic, yet calm, aligning with our Christian ethos.

This temporary role is linked to SEND funding and involves supporting our SEND children in the Reception classroom. You will work with small groups or on a 1:1 basis, primarily assisting children with additional needs under the supervision of the class teacher. Personal care responsibilities, including intimate care, are integral to this role.

• The ability to support children with personalised timetables and provisions
  
  

The successful candidate will work under the guidance of the EYFS Leader to implement and oversee agreed work programmes for individuals or groups, both in and out of the classroom.
