KS1 Languages Specialist in Bristol

Do you speak more than one language and love the idea of helping children grow in confidence? We’re working with friendly and welcoming primary schools across Bristol who are looking for brilliant multilingual Teaching Assistants to support pupils in the classroom, especially children who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL). For many children, hearing their home language or having someone who understands their culture can completely change how they feel at school. It helps them settle quicker, join in with learning, and feel safe, seen, and included.

That’s where you come in. Whether you speak Arabic, Polish, Somali, Urdu, Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Bengali, or any other language, your skills could make a real difference every single day.

• Helping pupils build confidence with English and classroom routines
• Working 1:1 or with small groups
• Encouraging children socially and emotionally
