Retford, United Kingdom Portland Place Pre-school Full time

Portland Place Pre-school is charity run preschool in the heart of the village of Sutton Cum Lound. We are on the school premises, working closely with the school to support a smooth transition to Foundation 2.

At Portland Place Pre-school we believe that the importance of early years in a child’s development cannot be over emphasised. Any experience which caters for the needs of children, before they reach statutory school age, establishes the foundations of future learning. We aim to meet these needs in our daily contact with the children. Children aged 2+come to pre-school with a wealth of experience to draw upon. They will have learnt about people and their environment and begun to develop many of the skills which they need to operate in their world. It is our task to build upon this experience and extend their learning. We see each child as an individual. The children are not pressured as we learn through play and their interests, their learning should be fun. Therefore, we do our best to ensure that each child has a warm, caring and stimulating environment in which they are supported, by our qualified staff, in developing their own potential at their own pace.

We are looking for a level 3 pre-school assistant to join our team. You will work as a key worker and as part of the pre-school team under the direction of the manager. To provide safe, high quality education and care for young children which meets the individual needs of children attending the setting.

Main duties:
1. To assist with the planning of the curriculum using the EYFS curriculum for guidance.

2. To help to set up the room for the daily programme and to help tidy away at the end of the day.

3. To act as a key worker to a small group of children, liaising closely and building effective relationships with parents/carers and ensuring each child's needs are recognised and met.

4. Work in partnership with parents/carers and other family members.

5. To advise pre-school manager of any concerns e.g. over children, parents or the safety of equipment, preserving confidentiality as necessary.

6. To teach children, offering an appropriate level of support and stimulating play experiences.

7. To ensure that children are kept safe and that you understand safeguarding and child protection procedures.

8. To support meal times within the setting.

9. To actively participate at team meetings, supervision and appraisal meetings.

10. To attend training courses as required and to take responsibility for your own development.

11. To keep completely confidential any information regarding the children, their families or other staff, which is required as part of the job.

12. To be aware of and adhere to all the setting's policies and procedures e.g. health and safety, fire precautions, dropping off and collection of children, food safety, cleanliness of the setting etc.

13. To ensure that adequate records are kept and updated regularly.

14. To promote the pre-school to current and potential customers.

15. To undertake any other reasonable duties as directed by the pre-school manager, in accordance with the setting's business plan/objectives.
