Academics are recruiting an enthusiastic Early Years SEN Teaching Assistant in Redbridge to support young children who need additional help with their development and early learning.

The early years are such an important stage in a child's journey.

Could this be the role for you?

We're looking for someone warm, patient and proactive who enjoys working with young children. Experience in an Early Years, nursery or SEN setting would be particularly useful.

You'll be observant, creative and ready to adapt your approach to meet each child's needs. Above all, you'll want every child to feel included and have the opportunity to flourish.

• £93-£120 per day, depending on experience.
• ASAP start until July 2027.
• Potential to secure a permanent position afterwards.
