*Calling all students*

If you’re currently studying in South Wales, you might be battling between getting a part-time job to have a little extra money to fund yourself or heading out into the wilderness to find some relevant work experience or volunteering. Often, part-time/flexible hour jobs are irrelevant to your professional development and eat in to your studies, and volunteering or doing unpaid work experience means you aren’t able to earn the money you need to live, we know it’s hard what you need more…

Not to blow our own trumpet but with us, you don’t have to make that decision, that’s right, no working in a bar through the night serving £1 drinks. You can now register with us and gain useful work experience and get paid to do so. You will be working during your days off and during school hours allowing you to use your evenings to study or relax.

So how does this work? You ask. If you have recent experience of working with children for a minimum of 6 weeks (once a week for a period of 6 weeks is sufficient) this could be volunteering, mentoring, tutoring or anything similar, then we can place you in schools.

All you’ll need is a DBS Certificate, which can often be arranged with your University and an EWC registration which we can help you with when you come in to meet us at our office. These are both documents that you need to legally work and get paid for work in schools in Wales.

Once we have your professional and character references back, you’re ready to start working. All of our work is temporary therefore you are not contracted to a certain number of hours, you pick and choose when you can and can’t work. We understand that university workload can differ therefore some weeks you may not be free, that’s fine – we note it on the system and check in with you the week after!

Don’t worry, you don’t have to have plans to be a teacher or work in education after graduating. Working in schools is useful to show your future employer that you had the drive to work during your studies, along with having the opportunity to gain skills you wouldn’t necessarily expect to have.

So that’s it, it’s a super easy process. If you’re interested in teaching assistant work in Cardiff and its surrounding areas, fill in this form!
