Are you someone who believes the right adult can change a child’s day?

Do you thrive in a busy environment where relationships matter, behaviour support is done with care and staff are genuinely invested in?

Do you want to work in a school that values adults as much as children?

Sinai Jewish Primary School is rated Outstanding in all areas (OFSTED November 2024). We are looking for a committed and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join our growing Nursery team.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with experience working in a nursery setting and or supporting children with behaviour or additional needs.

You will be joining a warm, supportive and value-led community where teamwork, respect and high expectations go hand in hand.

What we offer:

• A nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is known, supported and championed
• The chance to work closely with skilled and passionate teachers, key workers and nursery manager
• Strong support for those considering a future in teaching
• Ongoing professional development and clear opportunities for career progression

You will be a trusted adult, a calm presence, a motivator and a key part of children’s success.

The work is rewarding, sometimes challenging but never boring. Most importantly, you’ll never do it alone.

Join us to be part of something genuinely special.
