Lisa with al due respect we can't do the detail , only you can - list the schools/nurseries and give details of what your work entailed.

Explain what you found most rewarding about your time there.

Our problem is that only you know the detail!

Perhaps something along the lines of the following might help though:

"I was employed at Bloggs Street Primary School, Toughtown, (from September 2013 to July 2015) as a classroom assistant, working with Year 2 children. Although my duties were varied, the main areas of my work involved developing both verbal and written English skills with the children (for many of whom English was not their first language) and assisting with the teaching of Key Stage 1 mathematics. I was also fortunate in that the school provided many field trips for the children, where I particularly enjoyed helping them learn from new experiences.

I have also been employed at Little Darlings Nursery School, Smugtown, (from September 2012 to July 2013), where I enjoyed teaching children core skills (such as tying their shoelaces) as much as I did helping with their introduction to basic numeracy, etc. As a confident guitar player, I was also much in demand to assist with developing music skills"

Also very important for a teaching job, make sure your grammar and spelling are 100% correct. Like using a capital I in ''I have worked ''

My Mum was a teacher for over 40 years specializing in remedial reading and literacy. She was also responsible for sorting out applications for teaching jobs. She told me that the very first thing done was to throw out any applications with less than perfect grammar and spelling.
