Help Children Learn, Grow and Thrive Every Day

Are you passionate about working with children and making a positive impact in the classroom? Whether you have experience in schools, nurseries, childcare, coaching, youth work, care settings, or other child-focused environments, this could be the perfect opportunity to take the next step in your career.

Teaching Personnel is seeking enthusiastic and dedicated Classroom Assistants to support primary schools across the Vale of Glamorgan. This rewarding role offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced teaching staff, support pupils of all abilities, and play a key role in creating a positive and engaging learning environment where children can flourish both academically and socially.

About the Role

As a Classroom Assistant, you will become a valued member of the school community, supporting teachers in delivering engaging lessons while helping pupils remain focused, motivated, and confident in their learning. No two days are the same, and the role provides a fantastic opportunity to gain varied experience across different year groups and classroom settings.

Your responsibilities may include providing one-to-one support, working with small intervention groups, assisting with classroom activities, helping pupils overcome learning barriers, and encouraging positive behaviour. You may also support children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), helping to ensure that every pupil receives the guidance and encouragement they need to achieve their full potential.

Building strong relationships with pupils, staff, and parents is an important part of the role, as is contributing to a safe, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment where children feel supported and inspired to succeed.

Successful candidates will be positive, patient, adaptable, and able to build strong relationships with young learners.

Previous experience supporting children, whether in a school, nursery, childcare, coaching, mentoring, youth work, or care setting, is highly desirable. Experience supporting children with Additional Learning Needs is welcomed but not essential, as we value enthusiasm, commitment, and a willingness to learn just as highly as previous classroom experience.

• Previous experience working with children.
• Registration with the Education Workforce Council (EWC), or willingness to apply.
• An Enhanced DBS Certificate registered on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

Teaching Personnel can provide support with EWC registration and DBS applications where required.
