Please note that Middlesbrough Early Years Specialist Support Service includes the Cleveland Unit Child Development Centre.
We are obviously biased but we think the Cleveland Unit and EYSS service is a fantastic place to work and this is a great opportunity to join our fabulous team!
We are looking for an experienced early year's practitioner who wishes to further develop their knowledge, skills and practice in the care and teaching of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The post will involve working with children with complex and multiple needs in the Cleveland Unit Child Development Centre Specialist Nursery and Early Intervention Family Groups as well as delivering Portage (support in a child's home) and supporting children with SEND in mainstream settings across Middlesbrough.
The role involves travel during the working day between various early years' settings so you will need to have independent transport (mileage costs are paid).
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate:
An excellent understanding of child development & the EYFS;
The ability to work and communicate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams;
Flexibility, positive energy & resilience with a solution focussed approach;
A commitment to working with children with special educational needs/disabilities and a desire to support them and their families.
This vacancy arises as a result of a valued member of our team leaving to further their career. We are able to offer excellent training and support to the right applicant.
