You’ll be leading tailored interventions in both Welsh and English, helping students boost their literacy, numeracy, and language skills. Whether working one-on-one or in small groups, you’ll provide the encouragement, guidance, and expertise needed to make a lasting difference.

Your day-to-day will involve:

• A patient, empathetic approach to working with children of all abilities.
• A real passion for supporting students who may need that extra bit of encouragement and guidance to excel.

• Make a real impact: Your work will directly contribute to helping students achieve their goals, both academically and personally. You'll be part of a community that celebrates every student's progress, big or small.
• Be part of something special: We believe in the power of bilingualism and the rich culture of Welsh language. Your Welsh fluency will not only be valued but will also be at the heart of schools ethos and daily life.
• Professional development: We’re committed to your growth. You’ll have access to training and development opportunities, ensuring that you have the tools and support you need to thrive.
• A supportive team: Join a welcoming and supportive agency who are passionate about making a difference. Your consultant will be there to collaborate with you, share ideas, and provide guidance along the way.
