Welsh-Speaking ALN Teaching Assistants – Make a Difference Every Day

Are you a fluent Welsh speaker who is passionate about supporting children and helping them reach their full potential?

We are currently working with Welsh-medium primary schools across Cardiff who are looking for enthusiastic and caring Welsh-speaking Teaching Assistants to support pupils with Additional Learning Needs (ALN).

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build experience within education, whether you're considering a career in teaching, educational psychology, speech and language therapy, childcare, social care, or another child-focused profession.

You'll work closely with teachers and school staff to provide individual and small-group support, helping pupils develop academically, socially, emotionally, and confidently through the medium of Welsh.

The Role

As a Welsh-speaking ALN Teaching Assistant, your role will involve supporting pupils who may require additional help with their learning, communication, behaviour, or emotional wellbeing.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Providing one-to-one and small-group support through the medium of Welsh
• Supporting pupils with their learning and classroom activities
• Helping children develop their communication, literacy, numeracy, and social skills
• Supporting pupils with additional learning needs and individual learning targets
• Encouraging pupils' confidence and engagement with the Welsh language
• Helping pupils develop independence and positive learning habits
• Supporting children with emotional regulation and behaviour when required
• Working alongside teachers and school staff to create a positive learning environment
• Adapting activities and resources to meet individual pupils' needs
• Encouraging positive relationships and inclusive participation
• Supporting pupils during break times, lunch, trips, and wider school activities
• Promoting children's wellbeing, safeguarding, and inclusion at all times

What We're Looking For

• Fluent Welsh speaker with the confidence to communicate with pupils and staff in Welsh
• A genuine passion for supporting children and young people
• Patient, caring, and empathetic approach
• Confident working with children who may require additional support
• Reliable, adaptable, and able to work effectively as part of a team
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn
• Previous experience supporting children with ALN, SEND, childcare, education, or youth work is desirable but not essential
• A relevant qualification or degree is welcomed but not required

What We Offer

• £93 per day with weekly pay
• Full-time, part-time, and flexible supply opportunities
• Opportunities across a range of Welsh-medium primary schools in Cardiff
• Free CPD and safeguarding training
• Ongoing support from a dedicated education consultant

• Opportunities for long-term and permanent positions
• £50 Refer-a-Friend bonus
