In order to achieve this, the Assistant will:

2. Help provide and take part in all the group’s activities.

3. Carry out regular observations and make an assessment of each child’s needs within the group and plan daily to meet those needs.

10. Keep strictly confidential any personal information regarding children, their families and other staff learned as part of the job. Such information must not be passed on unless it is in the interest of a child. The Assistant will then approach the Leader with the information.
