1:1 Teaching Assistant (Nursery)

Job Opportunity: 1:1 Teaching Assistant – Nursery (SEND Support)
Location: Crosby,
Contract Type: Term-time only, full-time
Salary: Dependent on experience and qualifications

We are looking for a nurturing, patient, and resilient Teaching Assistant to provide one-to-one support for a nursery-aged pupil who is non-verbal and present with some behavioural needs.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about early years education and committed to helping every child feel safe, understood, and included.

The successful candidate will work closely with the class teacher and SEND team to create a calm and structured environment that supports the pupil’s communication, emotional regulation, and engagement with learning. You will help implement individual strategies, support transitions and routines, and build a trusting relationship that encourages confidence and independence.

The role may involve personal care and sensory support, and will require a consistent, empathetic approach to managing behaviour.
We welcome applicants with experience in early years or SEND settings, particularly those familiar with supporting non-verbal children or pupils with behavioural challenges. A relevant qualification such as a Level 2 or Level 3 in Childcare or Supporting Teaching and Learning is desirable, but not essential.

What matters most is your ability to connect with young children, remain calm under pressure, and work collaboratively with staff and families.
