Welsh-Speaking School Support Staff Opportunities - Caerphilly

Are you a Welsh speaker with a passion for supporting young people? Tradewind Recruitment is looking for enthusiastic Welsh-speaking individuals to join our team of school support staff across Caerphilly. If you have transferable skills, a love for the Welsh language, and want to make a positive impact in local schools, this is the perfect role for you!

We are recruiting for a range of positions to meet the diverse needs of schools in the Caerphilly area. Positions available include:

1. Teaching Assistants (TAs)
As a Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with teachers to provide learning support to students. This can include one-on-one support for students with additional needs, as well as assisting in small groups. Welsh-speaking TAs are essential in Welsh-medium schools, helping students to engage and progress in both Welsh and English.

2. Learning Support Assistants (LSAs)
Learning Support Assistants focus on providing additional help to students who require extra support, often those with special educational needs or who need assistance developing their language skills. Your role will be to encourage their learning and independence while helping them feel comfortable and included in the classroom.

3. Cover Supervisors
In this role, you'll step in to supervise classes during the short-term absence of the teacher. This role is perfect for those who enjoy variety and are looking to develop classroom management skills. Cover Supervisors maintain a calm and structured learning environment, ensuring students stay on task.

4. Administrative Support Staff
For those who excel in organisation and communication, our schools need Welsh-speaking administrative support staff to assist with school operations. From handling phone inquiries and paperwork to assisting in managing school communications, your role is crucial in helping the school run smoothly.

• Flexible Opportunities: Choose the hours and days that suit your lifestyle.
• Competitive Pay: Earn a fair wage for the work you're passionate about.
• Professional Development: Gain valuable experience and access ongoing training and support.
• Community Impact: Play a key role in the educational journey of young people, inspiring the next generation in both Welsh and English.

• Fluency in Welsh is essential, as you'll be working in Welsh-speaking or bilingual environments.
• Relevant Experience or Transferable Skills: Experience in a school setting is a bonus, but skills from other fields (such as youth work, care, or administration) are also highly valued.
• A Positive, Supportive Attitude: We are looking for individuals who are patient, empathetic, and eager to make a difference.

If you're ready to embark on a rewarding journey in education and feel you have what it takes to be a role model for young people, we want to hear from you! Apply today to join the Tradewind Recruitment team and make a lasting impact in Caerphilly schools.
