Teaching Assistant (Welsh-Medium) – Primary School, Cardiff

Location: Cardiff

Hours: 8:30am – 3:30pm, Monday to Friday (term time only)

Start date: ASAP

Essential: Fluent Welsh speaker, DBS (or willingness to apply) and EWC registration (or willingness to apply)

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.

About the School

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.

We'd love to hear from you if you…
  • 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
Requirements
  • Fluent Welsh speaker (essential)
  • Enhanced DBS or willingness to apply
  • EWC registration or willingness to register
  • Two recent, relevant references
What This Role Offers
  • 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.

Please apply with your full, up-to-date CV.
