NURSERY SUPPORT ASSISTANT/PLAYWORKER

ADVERTISEMENT

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Nursery Support Assistant/Playworker to join our friendly nursery and pre-school on a temporary basis to work 1:1 with a child. This is a rewarding post for candidates who will thrive on the opportunity to positively affect student outcomes.

To be successful you must have the ability to read a 10 page story book with 4 interruptions a page, upside down. If a child requests that you are a driver of a train, dragon or a fairy, you must be the best driver, dragon or fairy you can possibly be. The ability to sing in tune is not necessary, but sometimes you may need to dance to imaginary music. You must be prepared to eat play dough cookies realistically and be willing to drink many cups of imaginary tea. Counting moving small people quickly is essential.

In return we will offer you: -

• Supportive and forward-thinking colleagues within school and the MAT as a whole

• Good induction and training opportunities

• Staff discount scheme

• Enthusiastic, well-behaved students, willing to learn
