Observe and assess children's progress, maintaining accurate records and communicating their achievements to parents or guardians. Follow and implement safeguarding and health and safety policies at all times.
Requirements:

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage effectively with children, parents, and colleagues. A caring and compassionate nature, with the ability to provide individualised support to each child.
Benefits:
