Early Years Support Staff (PreK and Kindergarten)

• PreK: 3–5 years

• Kindergarten / Grade 1: 5–7 years (depending on student numbers)

We are seeking a female Early Years Support Staff member to support teaching and learning in PreK and Kindergarten classes. This role focuses on supporting classroom instruction, smallgroup learning, and student wellbeing while working closely with the class teacher in a structured and stimulating early childhood environment.

Children in these age groups are expected to be increasingly independent. As such, the role places greater emphasis on learning support and classroom assistance, while still requiring flexibility to support care and wellbeing needs when required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the class teacher in the effective daytoday running of the classroom.

• Assist with the delivery of learning activities, including phonics, early literacy, numeracy, and playbased learning.

• Work with small groups or individual students to reinforce learning objectives.

• Support classroom routines and promote positive behaviour and engagement.

• Help create a calm, safe, and stimulating learning environment.

• Support students’ wellbeing and personal needs when required, including hygiene and care support.

• Supervise transitions, play times, and daily routines in line with school expectations.

Role Context:
The class teacher is responsible for planning, assessment, and overall classroom direction. The Early Years Support Staff member plays an active role in supporting the teaching and learning process and is an important contributor to the classroom team. While planning is not required, collaboration, initiative, and professional input are encouraged.

Requirements:

• Female candidates only (in line with cultural expectations).

• Must already have the legal right to work in Saudi Arabia, or be the spouse of an SEK employee.

• Experience working with children aged 3–7 years.

• Experience in a school or early years educational setting preferred.

• Ability to support early literacy, including phonics, is highly valued.
