Early Years ALN Teaching Assistant (Fairwater, Cardiff)
Job description
Are you an experienced or qualified Early Years Practitioner looking for a full time role to start ASAP and be guaranteed until the end of the school year in Cardiff?
If so then we want to hear from you!
I am currently working with a gorgeous primary school situated in Fairwater Cardiff, who are in need of additional support in their Early Years Foundation Stage setting. You will predominantly be working full time with the Nursery / Reception class as a general Teaching Assistant and you must have experience in working in Early Years, or have a qualification in it. As 28% of the schools pupils have been statemented with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), experience in working with ALN would be hugely favoured too. The school values Teaching Assistants who are proactive, hands-on, and eager to engage fully in classroom life and school activities, but who are also caring, empathetic and able to engage well with younger learners who may need deescalating, diverting, or distracting from some situations when they become overwhelmed. Not someone who will just stand and shout! Creativeness is key in this setting so they say! You may also be required from time to time to cover yard duty, which would be all year groups across Key Stage 1 and 2 within the school.
Rated GOOD when last inspected by Estyn in 2018, this is a school where staff feel valued, pupils are polite and eager to learn, and the leadership team rated second to none. Supportive, welcoming, and forward-thinking — what more could you ask for from your next school?
