We are currently supporting schools across Cardiff with staffing requirements for both post-Easter and September starts, and are looking to connect with motivated graduates ready to make a difference.

You will be working within a school environment supporting learners, many of whom may feel anxious or require additional support. Your role will be to use your excellent communication skills, resilience, and positive attitude to help create a safe, engaging, and successful learning environment.
