Eyfs Teaching Assistant

EYFS Teaching Assistant - Level 3 Qualified, Coventry

Some children arrive not yet sure what school is supposed to feel like. Helping them find their feet, settle into a routine, and start to trust the adults around them - that's the heart of this role.

A welcoming mainstream school in Coventry is looking for a full-time EYFS/KS1 Teaching Assistant to start as soon as possible. It's a long-term placement with a genuine possibility of becoming permanent from September. If you've got your Level 3 EYFS qualification, some early years classroom experience, and you're looking for a role where you can stay, grow, and make a real difference, this is worth your time.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the class teacher across EYFS and KS1 year groups with day-to-day learning activities
• Working 1:1 with individual pupils and with small groups, adapting your approach to each child's needs
• Helping to create a calm, predictable environment where young children feel safe enough to learn
• Observing and recording pupil progress, feeding back to the class teacher as part of a collaborative team
• Covering a 1-hour midday supervisory duty, with a 30-minute lunch break included
• Being a consistent, trusted presence across the school day, inside and outside the classroom
• Contributing to an inclusive school culture built on genuine care for every child

We're looking for someone who:

• Holds a Level 3 EYFS qualification - this is a requirement for the role
• Has at least 6 months' UK EYFS experience in a school or nursery setting
• Holds a Paediatric First Aid certificate, or is willing to work towards one (desirable)
• Has some experience supporting children with additional needs - autism, ADHD, or SLCN in particular
• Is patient, calm, and naturally good at building warm relationships with young children
• Understands that early years support is about nurture as much as learning
• Is reliable and genuinely committed to a full-time, long-term placement - this school needs consistency

What's on offer:

• Full-time hours, Monday to Friday, 8:45am to 3:10pm
• Up to 100 per day, depending on experience
• A supportive school with a strong inclusion ethos and a settled, welcoming team
• A long-term placement with a real possibility of permanent employment from September

Why Sprint?

If you're looking to work as a teacher in a mainstream classroom, providing day-to-day supply cover, we're probably not the agency for you. But if you're passionate about supporting students with additional needs and want a long-term role where you can build consistency and see the impact of your work every day, that's exactly what we do.
