Teaching Assistant - Cardiff

Make a difference every day. Support pupils to thrive. Build a rewarding career in SEN education.

Prospero Teaching is recruiting dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to work across specialist schools in Cardiff. This is a fantastic opportunity to join supportive educational settings, develop your skills and make a genuine difference to the lives of pupils who benefit from additional guidance and support.

Whether you already have experience in education or have a background in care, support work, youth work or a similar role, this could be the perfect opportunity to take the next step in your career.

The Role

As a Teaching Assistant, you'll work closely with teachers and other support staff to create a positive, safe and engaging learning environment. You'll provide tailored support to pupils, helping them develop their confidence, communication, independence and social skills.

Depending on the school and placement, you may support pupils with:

Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

Autism, ADHD and communication difficulties.

Emotional regulation and behavioural challenges.

Moderate to complex learning difficulties.

Additional needs requiring personalised learning and pastoral support.

Every pupil is different, so you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships and adapt your approach to help each individual succeed.

What We're Looking For

A patient, caring and resilient attitude.

Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

The ability to remain calm and positive in challenging situations.

A genuine passion for supporting children and young people.

A proactive approach and willingness to learn.

Previous SEN, education, care or support work experience is desirable, although transferable skills may also be considered.
