A warm, friendly and highly supportive Welsh-medium primary school in Cardiff is seeking a motivated Teaching Assistant to join its dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with primary-aged children and who wants to contribute positively within a nurturing school environment.

We are looking for an individual who can be a positive role model, build strong relationships with pupils, and support learning across the school—both in small groups and 1:1. Experience supporting children with SEN/SEND, SEMH needs, or challenging behaviour is desirable, but not essential. A caring, patient approach and a willingness to learn are equally valued.

The school is known for its welcoming atmosphere, collaborative staff team, and commitment to pupil wellbeing. They use a range of supportive strategies—including nurture-based approaches and outdoor learning—to help children succeed emotionally, socially and academically. Training opportunities are plentiful, with staff encouraged to grow and contribute new ideas.

• Have experience working with children in a school, childcare or community setting

• Can support pupils who have additional learning needs or who face emotional/behavioural barriers

• Are able to engage and communicate effectively with parents and external agencies

• Have excellent teamwork skills and a positive, proactive attitude

• Are committed to safeguarding, wellbeing and inclusive practice

• Are keen to take part in training, including behaviour support and SEND/ALN approaches

• Are passionate about helping children achieve their best—both personally and academically

• Can work confidently in a dynamic, varied primary school environment

• Fluent Welsh speaker (essential)

• Enhanced DBS or willingness to apply

• EWC registration or willingness to register

• Two recent, relevant references

• A supportive, nurturing staff team

• Weekly PAYE pay

• Access to a wide range of training (Safeguarding, Behaviour, Team Teach, SEND, Thrive, etc.)

• Regular support and welfare check-ins

• Fair pay policy, paid to scale from day one

If you are enthusiastic about supporting children in a Welsh-medium primary setting and have the skills or passion to make a positive impact, we would love to hear from you.
