Are you an Early Years specialist who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty? Do you believe that the best learning often happens in the middle of a mud kitchen or a glitter explosion?

We are seeking an intuitive, high-energy EYFS Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant Academy in Blackpool. This is an environment built on the wholehearted pursuit of excellence, and we need a consistent, full-time professional to provide stability and drive progress as we head toward the 2026 assessment season.

We are looking for a candidate who embodies our Academy's core philosophy. We take immense pride in our school and foster an atmosphere of respect and integrity. We strive to provide a safe, stimulating, and exciting environment where all learners are encouraged to develop:

• Resilience in the face of challenges.
• Lively and enquiring minds capable of independent thought.
• Self-discipline and self-confidence to prepare them for future happiness and success.

This isn't a role for someone who likes to sit on the sidelines. We need a "get up and go" character who anticipates the needs of the pupils and the teacher before being asked.

• Measure of Success: Impact. We value staff who make our values visible in every learner.
• The Environment: A broad, balanced, and relevant curriculum where access is free and equal for all.
• The "Messy" Factor: You must be 100% comfortable with messy play, outdoor learning, and the general whirlwind of an EYFS classroom!

• Qualification: You must hold a recognised EYFS/Childcare qualification that covers you to work with children aged 0-5 years.
• Availability: Full-time commitment is essential (Monday-Friday, 8:30-3:30).
• Character: Proactive, intuitive, and a champion of academic and social accomplishments.
