Level 3 Teaching Assistant

The Teaching Assistant will work under the direction of the Head of Lower School and use their own initiative to implement agreed work programmes with individuals and groups both inside and outside of the classroom, including offsite activities. This should include those requiring detailed and specialist knowledge of the curriculum and will involve assisting the teacher with the whole planning cycle and the management / preparation of resources. The postholder may also supervise whole classes occasionally during the short-term absence of teachers (maximum of 1 day).

Our excellent practitioners and leaders will feel supported to innovate and will challenge the 'norm' - pushing the boundaries and not being afraid of doing things differently. Our staff will have a genuine passion for the work that they do; self-motivated, self-disciplined, and driven to succeed and be the best they can be. In return, Ysgol Bro Taf will be an exciting place to work - a place where everyone's achievements are celebrated, and everyone feels valued for the key contribution they are making to our collective success.

We will create a culture in which openness and an active willingness to share and promote the very best practice are key factors in the drive for improvement in our school. We will be proactive in reaching out to the education community in order to learn from them and share our own expertise. We will also invest heavily in our most valued resource, our staff, and will ensure everyone benefits from a rich and purposeful programme of professional learning to help realise our ambitious vision.
