Experienced Teaching Assistant

We’re working with a fantastic primary school in CF24 who are looking for an experienced, energetic, and hands-on Teaching Assistant to join their team. This is a school that values enthusiasm, teamwork, and people who genuinely get stuck in — whether that’s supporting in class, running small group interventions, or providing 1:1 support where needed.

The ideal candidate will have solid classroom experience and be confident working across all age groups. You’ll bring a calm, adaptable approach and be able to build positive relationships with pupils and staff alike. The school are particularly keen to meet people with a background in sport, coaching, or active learning — someone who knows how to motivate and engage children through movement and teamwork as well as classroom learning.

This is a friendly, well-supported school with excellent facilities and a great team spirit. There’s on-site parking available, plus good access to public transport routes, making it easy to reach from across Cardiff.

The role will involve:

• Supporting pupils in class and leading small group interventions

• Providing targeted 1:1 support where needed

• Assisting teachers in delivering engaging lessons and activities

• Encouraging pupils’ confidence, participation, and wellbeing

• Bringing energy, initiative, and a can-do attitude every day

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience working in a school setting or youth/sports environment

• Can work confidently across Foundation Phase and KS2

• Is proactive, dependable, and enjoys being part of a close-knit team

• Is ready to roll their sleeves up and make a real difference

This is a brilliant opportunity for a strong all-round TA who loves variety and thrives in a fast-paced, rewarding environment. The school are happy to offer a higher rate for the right person — someone who brings experience, commitment, and that extra spark.
