Long Term Futures is recruiting a highly experienced EYFS Teaching Assistant to join an established primary school in Hampstead from September.

The school is specifically looking for an accomplished Early Years practitioner - someone who already has substantial experience within school-based EYFS provision and can bring confidence, initiative and strong curriculum knowledge to the classroom.

This is not an entry-level EYFS position. You''ll be expected to work with a high degree of independence, lead learning activities and contribute meaningfully to children''s progress alongside the class teacher.

The Role

• As an experienced EYFS Teaching Assistant, you will:
• Provide high-quality classroom support across the EYFS curriculum
• Lead focused groups in phonics, early reading, writing and maths
• Support both adult-led learning and continuous provision
• Use observations to identify children''s next steps and support progress
• Encourage strong communication, language and social development
• Adapt activities for children with differing developmental and learning needs
• Take initiative within the classroom rather than waiting for direction
• Help maintain an engaging, purposeful and well-organised Early Years environment

What We''re Looking For

• Substantial previous experience working within EYFS
• Strong knowledge of the EYFS Framework
• Confident delivering phonics and early learning interventions
• Experience leading groups independently
• Excellent understanding of early childhood development
• A proactive, nurturing and highly organised approach
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively alongside teachers

Experienced EYFS TAs, senior Teaching Assistants and Early Years practitioners with strong school-based classroom experience are encouraged to apply.
