The Ideal Candidate

If you don’t have any experience working with children, we have had successful candidates that come from backgrounds in sport, drama, and music. We also welcome all aspiring teachers that plan on completing a PGCE in future. You will need strong language, grammar, and communication skills as well as understanding of children’s behaviour as you will be teaching groups of children language and mathematics in small groups. The schools we work with are based all over Cardiff so the ability to drive would be great but is not a necessary requirement if you have access to transport to reach our schools.

• Ensure that physical, emotional, and social welfare of the students is upheld.
