About the Role

Little Horsted is a successful small rural school situated just off the A26 near Uckfield. Inside the school is a highly motivated community where pupils are encouraged to develop their full potential in a Christian, caring environment.  From September 2016 our Nursery has become part of our school. Children can start from the term before they are 3. Our vision is to provide outstanding progressive early years education throughout our Early Years Foundation Stage that continues on through our School Village Community.

The Governors are seeking to appoint a committed, inspirational, innovative and talented Nursery Assistant who has a good knowledge of assisting the teaching ethos of early years. Prospective candidates should have a level 2 qualification and a good working knowledge of child protection, safeguarding procedures and policies that are essential in an Early Years setting.   

The position is part time however with our nursery expanding rapidly more hours could become available. The Nursery Assistant role will be supported by the Early Years Team that consists of experienced and dedicated teaching and support staff in a school that is in a stunning rural location.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits. This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).
