Teaching Personnel are working with their partner secondary schools in South Wales to find classroom support staff to work on a day to day cover basis. Thanks to excellent relationships built with a range of educational institutions in the RCT and Merthyr area, we are looking for teaching assistants who are available to start in October until March as a designated member of 'bubble staff'' to provide support across a wide range of year groups based on where cover demands are. Staff testing, shielding and regular sickness has meant that schools are having to lean on the support of temporary staff more than ever.

We will assign you to work in a school convenient to your location. Although we pride ourselves on finding excellent candidates, it is also your responsibility to make a great positive impact within the school. In the past, teaching assistants have gone on to secure permanent contracts with the schools on a full time or flexi basis.

We will invite you to an interview with us before enrolling you on a trial with the ideal school. Candidates must be great communicators with regards to their availability and ability to travel.

We can provide full career support and development

We offer CPD courses in safeguarding and classroom management just to give you that added confidence in your role.

• Be available to interview and trial asap
• Be available to start in October
• Be located in RCT or Merthyr
• If you having spent over 6 consecutive months overseas or are currently living abroad then please be willing to obtain Overseas Criminal Clearance before applying.
