A Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification, or similar experience that brings strong transferable skills

Someone patient, warm, and ready to get stuck in

A team player who’s happy to follow guidance and use their initiative

Experience in care, youth work, nurseries, or any hands-on childcare role is a big plus. If you’ve supported people in any setting where empathy and calm thinking mattered, your skills will transfer beautifully here.
