Are you passionate about helping children thrive? Do you want to be part of a supportive, vibrant school community right here in the heart of Penryn? Penryn Primary Academy is looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated, and caring Teaching Assistant to join our team.
We are looking for applicants who have a genuine love for working with children and the ability to encourage, motivate, and bring out the absolute best in every child. The successful candidate must have strong communication skills and be a brilliant team player. Previous experience in a school setting or a relevant childcare qualification would be advantageous, but a passion for learning and helping others is essential.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
