Teaching Assistant (KS2)

Are you looking for a new full time role from January as a TA in a local primary school? Then this could be the role for you if you live in Caerphilly.

***

Teaching Personnel are working with a lovely Primary school, situated just a 5/10 minute drive outside of Caerphilly town centre.

This school is a caring and inclusive school with a strong sense of community. Most pupils enjoy their time in the school and value the working relationships they develop with staff and their peers. The school’s nurturing ethos supports pupils to behave responsibly and to show courtesy to others in lessons and around the school. Most pupils settle to tasks readily and focus well on their learning. Many pupils make sound progress in developing their literacy, numeracy and digital skills, although they do not always extend their use of these fully enough in their wider learning.

The role will be starting in January 2026 in the schools KS2 unit – so you could be anywhere between supporting a Year 4, 5 or even Year 6 class!

Rated GOOD when last inspected by Estyn, this is a school where staff feel valued, pupils are polite and eager to learn, and the leadership team is second to none. Supportive, welcoming, and forward-thinking — what more could you ask for in your next role?

The school is looking for enthusiastic and committed educators who are passionate about supporting children’s learning and development. They value Teaching Assistants who are proactive, hands-on, and eager to engage fully in classroom life and school activities. As 30+% of this schools pupils have been statemented with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), experience in working with ALN would be hugely favoured.

A positive attitude, an open-minded approach, and the ability to create a fun and engaging environment are key qualities this school look for. As a large and collaborative setting, they particularly value team players with strong communication skills, ensuring effective coordination across classes and departments to deliver the very best learning experience for every child.
