Nurture Group Teaching Assistant- Newport

Nurture Group Teaching Assistant - Newport

Are you a caring, patient and resilient Teaching Assistant who is passionate about supporting children's emotional wellbeing and development? Academics is a dedicated education recruitment agency currently seeking a committed and nurturing Teaching Assistant to support pupils within nurture group settings across primary schools in Newport.

This is a highly rewarding role where you will be working with small groups of children who may need additional support with social, emotional, and behavioural development. You will help create a safe and supportive environment where pupils can build confidence, develop positive relationships, and re-engage with learning.

We'd love to hear from you whether you are an experienced Teaching Assistant, have a background in pastoral or behaviour support, or are someone with the right mindset and attitude to support children who need a fresh start.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Flexible working options to fit around your lifestyle and availability
  * Competitive weekly pay from £470
  * Opportunities within nurture provisions across EYFS, KS1 & KS2
  * Small group-based support with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and behaviour
  * Warm, welcoming schools with strong support systems
  * Guidance and support from a dedicated consultant with experience in ALN and classroom-based roles
  * Quick and straightforward online registration and timesheet process
  * Routes into longer-term and permanent positions for the right candidates
  * Refer-a-friend reward scheme

Who We're Looking For:

• Experience supporting children in an educational or childcare setting (desirable)
  * Understanding of emotional wellbeing, behaviour support, or pastoral care
  * Confidence in building positive relationships with pupils who may need additional support
  * A calm, patient and consistent approach in the classroom
  * Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
  * Registration with the Education Workforce Council (EWC)
  * Two recent professional references
  * A genuine commitment to supporting children's personal and emotional development

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real difference in children's confidence, behaviour, and engagement in learning across Newport primary schools, this could be the perfect next step.
