Early Years Teaching Assistant

Whetstone, Primary School 8.30-3.30 

4 days or 5 days available.

Start Date: September

We’re working with a welcoming primary school in Whetstone who are looking for a caring, enthusiastic Early Years Teaching Assistant to join them from mid March. This is a brilliant opportunity to be part of a nurturing Reception environment where curiosity, creativity and kindness sit at the heart of the school day.

The Role

You’ll be supporting children in Reception, helping them settle, explore and grow in confidence. No two days are the same, one minute you might be supporting early reading, the next you’re leading a small group activity or helping little learners navigate their big feelings.

This role is available 4 or 5 days per week, offering flexibility depending on what works best for you.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience working in Early Years, either in a school or nursery setting

  • A warm, patient and proactive approach

  • Confidence supporting phonics and early development

  • A genuine passion for helping young children thrive

If you understand that learning happens through play, conversation and connection, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Get

  • A supportive school team who value their support staff

  • A long-term opportunity starting mid March

  • The chance to make a real difference at a crucial stage of learning

  • Ongoing support and development through Protocol Education

Whether you’re an experienced Early Years TA or looking to build on your foundation experience, we’d love to hear from you.
