Nursery World - My life at work (18)

Job title: Home visiting teacher

Name of organisation: Enfield Pre-School Support Service

Location: Enfield, Middlesex

Duties

I work with young children with special needs, mainly in the six-month to three-year-old age range, but sometimes up to school age.

Younger children are increasingly falling within my remit because problems are being identified at an earlier age. I visit the children in their own homes and in pre-school settings such as playgroups.

We work in close collaboration with parents and aim to provide as much support as possible. Visits are usually made once a fortnight and I stay with each family for an hour. There is a limit to how much can be achieved in that time so the priority is to have the right programme in place. My focus is on all areas of the child's learning.
