Job Description:
Park Academy Childcare are currently seeking an experienced AIM Support Assistant to join our creche in Sandyford.
This role is based on the Access and Inclusion Model (AIM). It benefits children who may be struggling in the preschool model. AIM is a strength-based model and not an SNA model; however, some children will require one-to-one care. Ideally, the child should not become dependent on their carer, and promoting the child's independence is essential.
Part-time role: 15 hours per week
Working hours: 9am - 12pm, Monday - Friday, term time only.
This role is specifically tailored to meet the needs and requirements of the child in question and will vary and adjust to these needs on an ongoing basis. The role is a support role, providing guidance, support, and assistance to the child in question or to the room when and as needed.
Duties are subject to weekly review and refinement with the child's Key Worker, Parents, and the Manager to ensure that the child remains supported in the most effective manner. Duties may include the following, however, this will depend on the educational plan and guidance from the Manager:
* Participation in weekly staff meetings
* Supervision of the child at all times where required
* Weekly feedback and planning meetings with the child's key worker
* Support given to increase the child's access and inclusion into daily activities, routines, and group play
* Support to help the child in daily self-care (e.g., changing, toileting, eating, cleaning face and hands)
* Support to encourage positive peer interactions and to foster positive social and emotional development in the child
* Additional support in all forms of the child's development where required, in partnership with team members
* Planning, preparation, and implementation of activities tailored to the specific child's needs, to help engage and encourage positive peer interactions, in collaboration with team members
* Participation in all creche activities where appropriate (e.g., participation in group games/activities to support the child's inclusion; assistance with conflict resolution involving the child, etc.)
* Monthly feedback meetings with parents of the child, or more frequently if requested or required
* Work with the childcare team in order to develop a programme which supports the inclusion of a child with specific learning needs
* Maintain close, effective working partnerships with parents to ensure the well-being of their children and to share important learning and development for each child
Qualifications and Requirements:
* Minimum FETAC Level 5 (or equivalent) in Childcare or Early Years Childhood Care and Education
* First Aid trained (Desirable)
* HACCP Level 1 and 2 Certificate (Desirable)
* Previous experience in a Childcare setting or experience in working with additional needs (highly desirable)
