Graduate Teaching Assistant

We are working with partnership secondary schools in Cardiff and the surrounding areas (vale, Caerphilly, RCT) to recruit graduate teaching assistants to work with vulnerable children in September. During the disruption of school closures and online classrooms, the schools are looking to implement subject specialists who can help support with continuity, consistency and encouragement which has been lacking since the pandemic this year.

• Are you already a graduate, or are you coming towards the end of your final year?
• Are you looking to start your career in education but are unsure of how to gain some classroom experience?
• Do you want to be paid for working in a school setting?
• Are you currently living or commuting to Cardiff?

If yes, then Teaching personnel might have the perfect opportunity for you. We are working with multiple partner secondary schools in Cardiff to find new classroom support staff to get their foot in the door within the education sector.

Because of strong relationships established over the years, we are working closely with these particular secondary schools who can cater for a wide range of different ambitions, personalities and schedules. Whether you are coming to the end of your final year, looking to gain more experience to enhance your PGCE application or wanting more confidence before applying for your first teaching job, we can help.

All our candidates get paid above National Living Wage and you will not be charged any fees on top of your weekly salary. You will also not be charged additional fees to register.
