Become a Secondary Teaching Assistant

Location: Newport, South Wales
Pay Rate: £92.63 per day
Hours: 8:30am - 3:30pm
Contract: Full Academic Year 

Do you enjoy working with young people? Looking for a rewarding role where every day brings a new challenge and the opportunity to make a genuine impact?

Teaching Personnel is working closely with a number of welcoming secondary schools across Newport, recruiting enthusiastic Teaching Assistants to join their teams this September.

This is far more than a classroom support role-you'll become a trusted adult, mentor and positive role model, helping students develop academically, socially and emotionally throughout the school day.

Whether you're an experienced Teaching Assistant or looking to begin your career in education, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Secondary Teaching Assistant, you'll support pupils both inside and outside the classroom, helping them overcome barriers to learning and reach their full potential.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting students on a 1:1 basis and in small intervention groups
• Working alongside teachers to deliver engaging lessons
• Encouraging confidence, independence and participation
• Supporting pupils with ALN, SEMH and behavioural needs
• Promoting positive behaviour and helping students stay engaged
• Building positive relationships with pupils and becoming someone they can rely on
• Helping to create a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment

No two days are the same, making this a varied and incredibly rewarding opportunity.

We're looking for enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about supporting young people.

Experience is welcomed, but we're also interested in people with transferable skills from backgrounds such as:

• Teaching Assistant
• Youth Work
• Sports Coaching
• Care & Support Work
• Residential Childcare
• Psychology or Education Graduates
• Mentoring
• Customer Service or Hospitality
• Military or Emergency Services

If you can build relationships, stay calm under pressure and genuinely care about helping young people succeed, we'd love to hear from you.

The successful candidate will:

• Be aged 18 or over
• Hold (or be willing to apply for) an Enhanced DBS Certificate
• Register with the Education Workforce Council (EWC) (we can help)
• Complete our free Level 2 Safeguarding Training
• Provide two professional references covering the last 24 months
