We are looking to recruit a professional, kind and motivated Early Years SEND Assistant who will support our children with high quality inclusive practice, to help them learn and develop in our early years care and education setting here at BS3 Community Development.

Your new opportunity…
We are searching for one person to work with our children who require additional 1-to-1 support. We have 15 hours available (ideally Thursday and Friday) working within The Chessel Centre, with children under 5 years old.
You will be part of BS3 SEND Team and work alongside our Early Years Team, providing support, advocating for, and including young children with special educational needs in daily activities with their peers.
We are part of a charitable community centre, rather than a large corporate chain, and are proud of the partnerships that we have locally. We aim to innovate and are excited to include you in our work on exciting projects such as the Ambitious Two-Year-Old Project, the Bristol Standard and furthering our aims to promote intergenerational work with our nursery children and our older friends.
Working in the early years is one of the best decisions you could make, and we look forward to being part of your career journey!

Then apply today, our friendly HR Team are waiting to hear from you.
Experience would be an advantage but is not essential as you will be learning on the job, and you will be supported by our qualified SEND and Early Years Teams.
