Thinking of TA Job.

[MyDearGirl]

Ive been a stay at home mum for the best part of 6 years. Need Want to get back into working but am very limited on childcare so would need a school hours/school term job. Thinking of teaching assistant course to get me started. I currently help out voluntary at my DC's school so have an idea of whats required but I know some of the TA's have offical qualifications and not sure where to start with this . Any help will be appreciated.

Warning- lots of TA jobs getting cut due to budgets & statements becoming more difficult to get. You need something to make yourself stand out when it comes to shortlisting. Language/SN/Sports/etc qualifications etc if you can get something

Oh & basic courses tend to be NVQ2/3 or cache but try for higher levels when possible again to help get a job.
