Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 After working in a sessional pre-school for 5 and half years, (as a deputy Supervisor) and recently moving on to another (sessional) pre-school to be Supervisor, which I hated (because of the pre-school, not the position) I am now looking for a change. A job has been advertised for a teaching assistant in the reception/year 1 class of a small rural school. Can anyone tell me if having a level 3 in childcare and working towards a level 4 could be acceptable as qualifications for this job? I presume I would no longer have to do so much unpaid paperwork? If anyone could give me some insight into this position I would be really grateful, I really really dont want to make another mistake!! Thank you Jenni
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I would say you are qualified for the position and obviously very experienced working with children good luck
AnonyMouse_79 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Go and have a look around and see if you like what you see. Good luck.
Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I have just left my TA job after 10 yrs to work as a full time manager in our pre-school. I have the same qualifications as you and really liked the job. Go have a look in the right school it is rewarding and yes there is no out of hours planning. good luck sue
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 My friend went from being a pre-school assistant to a TA with the NVQ3 in childcare, she also runs the after school club. I'd say you'd be fine. Good luck
