Are you an experienced Early Years practitioner ready to step into a higher-level role?

A warm and nurturing Early Years setting in Enfield is seeking a confident and dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to join their team as soon as possible. You do not need an HLTA qualification - but strong Early Years experience is essential, especially supporting children with developmental delays, speech and language needs, or additional learning needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about early childhood development, play-based learning, and giving young children the best possible start.

What You'll Be Doing:

Delivering small group and one-to-one activities to support early learning goals

Leading high-quality play-based sessions that develop communication, social skills, and independence

Supporting the class teacher with planning and adapting activities for children with a range of early learning needs

Working closely with the Early Years Lead, SENCO, and external professionals such as speech & language therapists

Modelling strong practice and offering guidance to Teaching Assistants when required

Contributing to observations, assessments, and next-step planning in line with the EYFS framework

Helping to create a calm, safe, and stimulating learning environment

What We're Looking For:

Essential:

Strong Early Years experience (nursery or Reception), including supporting children with SEN

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with young children and families

A calm, nurturing, and patient approach rooted in play-based learning

Confidence working independently with small groups or individual children

Desirable (but not essential):

Experience in a nursery, children's centre, or specialist EYFS SEN provision

Knowledge of early intervention strategies or approaches such as PECs, Makaton, Attention Autism, or sensory-based support

Experience mentoring or supporting other staff

Why Join This School?

A supportive Early Years team and leadership who value high-quality practice

Opportunities for continuous professional development

A setting that prioritises child wellbeing, early intervention, and inclusive teaching

Clear progression routes into more senior Early Years or intervention roles

If you're passionate about Early Years education and ready to make a real impact in a lovely Enfield setting, we'd love to hear from you.
