Monarch Education, part of Affinity Workforce, is working in partnership with a welcoming and supportive primary school in Birmingham to recruit a dedicated EYFS Teaching Assistant for a full-time, long-term position from January until July.

This role will involve working across two EYFS classrooms, supporting children throughout the school day within a well-established Early Years setting.

The Ideal Candidate Will:

• Hold a Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification (or equivalent).
• Have previous experience working within an EYFS setting.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of the EYFS Framework and best practice within Early Years education.
