Start date: asap
Location: Bristol
Contract: Fixed term
Working Pattern: part-time
Your new school:
This Bristol Primary School is looking for a Teaching Assistant to work with their nursery class. This class is attached to the main school building, and you will be working closely with the main school, helping the children throughout their day. This primary school values nurturing and developing a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing for all involved in the school community. For these children, it is the forefront of the school, and it relies on its staff being good role models for the young minds whose day you will be a vital part of. This BS3 school is located along a public bus route and has a car park on site.
Your new role:
This role will consist of helping with the children's learning as they progress into what may be one of the first settings they are in without their parents. In the nursery, you will need to be patient and caring towards these children; empathy will be at the forefront of your work as these children are figuring things out for the first time and exploring their surroundings. This Teaching Assistant role will consist of half days in the mornings, setting up breakfast and being with the children up until lunch too. However, you may also be asked to stay all day at some point. This role requires flexibility and a firm but caring character.
Requirements to succeed in your new role:
* Previous experience working in a nursery/ pre-school setting
* Two working references from your most recent jobs that apply relevance to the position
* Previous experience with nursery children is desirable
* A DBS on the update service is desirable, however. However, you can apply for one through Hays.
What you'll get in return from Hays:
* Dedicated teaching assistant consultancy with a member of our qualified team
* Long-term work partnered with a supportive agency
* Our Hays app-easy to use with training built in
