Are you a Nursery Assistant or Early Years Practitioner looking for your next challenge in a rewarding, specialist setting?
Do you have a playful, nurturing approach and a passion for supporting children with additional needs?

We’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our specialist SEN school, working part-time (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) with pupils aged 4 to 19 who have Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), and Complex Needs.

About the Role:

• Support children and young people across a range of ages and developmental stages
• Create engaging, sensory-rich learning experiences tailored to individual needs
• Work closely with teachers, therapists, and families
• Provide personal care and assist with specialist equipment (full training provided if required)

About You:

• Experience in early years, nursery, or similar childcare settings
• A creative, playful approach to learning and interaction
• Patient, adaptable, and confident working with pupils with additional needs
• Passionate about inclusive education and making a real difference

While the role involves working with older children and young people, we’ve found that those with nursery or early years experience bring the right skills, mindset, and approach to thrive in this setting.

We Offer:

• A supportive and welcoming team environment
