Teaching Assistant – Full Academic Year Placement Rhondda Cynon Taf | £465 Per Week | September Start Some schools are simply different. Not because of the building, the facilities or the results, but because of the culture. The feeling you get when you walk through the doors. The relationships between staff and pupils. The sense that every child is genuinely known, supported and encouraged to succeed. We're working with a highly respected all-through school in Rhondda Cynon Taf that educates pupils from primary age right through to secondary school. The school has built an outstanding reputation for developing young people academically, socially and emotionally, whilst creating a supportive environment where staff feel valued and part of a wider community. They're now looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to join them for the full academic year from September. This opportunity would suit somebody looking to begin a career in education just as much as someone who already has experience working in schools. Whether you're a graduate exploring teacher training, a coach, youth worker, support worker or an experienced Teaching Assistant looking for a new challenge, the school is far more interested in attitude, commitment and the ability to build positive relationships with young people. You'll have the unique opportunity to gain experience across both primary and secondary phases, supporting pupils in lessons, working with small groups and helping children overcome barriers to learning. No two days will look the same, and every day will provide valuable experience that will strengthen your future career prospects within education. At £465 per week, this is an excellent opportunity to join a school where staff stay because they genuinely enjoy being there. If you're looking for a role where you can make a difference, develop professionally and become part of a supportive school community for the full academic year, we'd love to hear from you.
