Teaching Assistant wanted in Cathays Cardiff
HLTA – Cardiff (Cathays)
Your new school:
We are excited to offer an opportunity for a HTLA to join a welcoming and vibrant primary school in Cardiff. Known for its strong sense of community and dedication to both staff and students, this medium-sized school offers a supportive environment where you can thrive as part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team. You will be joining a school with a reputation for inclusivity and innovation in education, backed by a caring and approachable Senior Leadership Team.
Your new role:
This full-time role involves supporting pupils across Years 1 to 6, five days a week. You will assist the class teacher in creating a safe, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment. Working closely with students, your role will involve providing targeted support to individuals and small groups to help them achieve their full potential. You will also contribute to classroom management, resource preparation, and implementing tailored intervention strategies to support diverse learning needs.
Key responsibilities include:
• Supporting pupils in their academic, emotional, and social development.
• Assisting in delivering engaging lesson plans and learning activities.
• Providing one-to-one or small group support for children with additional learning needs.
• Helping to manage classroom behaviour and maintain a positive learning atmosphere.
• Preparing resources and assisting in setting up activities for lessons.
• Building strong, professional relationships with staff, pupils, and parents.
What you’ll need to succeed:
To excel in this role, you must have prior experience working with children in a school or similar setting. While a Teaching Assistant qualification level 4 or equivalent is preferred, we welcome applications from those with transferable skills and a passion for working in education. Strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to adapt to diverse learning styles are essential.
A current DBS check is required, or you must be willing to complete one. Key personal attributes include enthusiasm, reliability, and excellent time management. You should also be proactive, patient, and committed to helping young learners achieve their best.
What you’ll get in return:
This is your chance to work in a dynamic and highly regarded English-medium primary school. The role offers a competitive daily rate starting at £90.00, along with the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young learners. You’ll benefit from working in a supportive setting that values professional development and continuous improvement.
