Unqualified Teaching Assisant

Are you looking for a rewarding role where every day makes a difference? Whether you’re an experienced Teaching Assistant or completely new to working in schools, this could be the perfect opportunity to start or continue your journey in education!

We’re looking for enthusiastic, reliable, and proactive individuals to join our team of Teaching Assistants, supporting local primary schools in the heart of Cardiff (CF10). The role is flexible — you can choose to work from one to five days a week, depending on your availability.

The Role

As a Teaching Assistant, you’ll be a vital part of the classroom, supporting both the teacher and pupils to create a positive and engaging learning environment. Every day is different, but your responsibilities might include:

• Supporting children with their learning across a range of subjects such as reading, writing, maths, and creative activities.

• Helping to prepare classroom materials and set up resources for lessons.

• Working with small groups or individual pupils who need extra support, including children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) such as autism, ADHD, or speech and language difficulties.

• Encouraging children’s social, emotional, and academic development through positive interaction and encouragement.

• Assisting with classroom routines, transitions between lessons, and general organisation to help things run smoothly.

• Supervising during break or lunch times to ensure pupils are safe and happy.

You’ll be supported by teachers and other staff members, and no two days will ever be the same — it’s a role full of variety, teamwork, and moments that genuinely make you smile.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need formal qualifications to apply — we’re much more interested in your attitude, energy, and willingness to get stuck in!
We’d love to hear from you if you are:

• Friendly, reliable, and approachable.

• Confident working with children and able to build good relationships.

• Proactive and happy to help wherever needed.

• Patient, calm, and encouraging – especially when things get busy.

• Eager to learn new skills and take on different challenges.

If you already have experience in schools, childcare, youth work, or care settings — that’s a bonus! But if not, full guidance and ongoing support will be provided.

Location & Benefits

• Schools based in Central Cardiff (CF10) – excellent transport links and easy to reach by bus or train.

• Flexible working – choose your days each week to fit around your life.

• A chance to gain valuable experience in education – perfect for anyone considering a future career in teaching or childcare.
