Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I would say you are qualified for the position and obviously very experienced working with children good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted June 12, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
