  • Promote communication, language development, and social interaction

  • Help maintain a safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment

  • Work collaboratively with EYFS staff and wider school team

  • Follow safeguarding, health and safety, and school policies at all times

  • Be patient, caring, and enthusiastic

  • Have a good understanding of early childhood development

  • Be proactive, adaptable, and reliable
