Ripley Nursery School wish to appoint an enthusiastic, conscientious, reflective and child-friendly Specialist Teaching and Learning Assistant who has experience of working effectively within the early years.
This post is for 22 hours and 15 minutes per week over three days, starting 5 May 2026.
Between 5 May and 23 July, there is also the possibility of an additional 7.5 hours per week on a relief basis to provide cover on Tuesdays.
Ripley Nursery School is a fantastic, nurturing and aspirational learning environment where we value staff as our most important resource in achieving the best possible outcomes for children.
We believe strongly in nurturing children to ensure high levels of well-being, realise their potential and be confident and independent learners.
The successful candidate will work as part of a base class within a larger teaching team and be appointed keyworker for a group of children. This post involves planning, record keeping and attendance at staff meetings.
We embrace both the indoor and outside as rich learning environments throughout the school year and regard the unpredictable British weather as another learning provocation for our pupils.
At Ripley Nursery School we firmly understand that safeguarding is everybody’s business; we are committed to safeguarding, safer recruitment and promoting the welfare of our children.
Closing date: Sunday 12th April 2026 interviews w/c 20th April 2026
