As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with teachers and other professionals to support pupils with a range of additional needs, including:

• Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
• ADHD
• speech and Language needs
• Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties (MLD/SLD)
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
• Complex medical and sensory needs

You’ll help pupils access learning, develop confidence, build independence and celebrate every achievement, no matter how big or small.

We’re Looking For People Who Are:

• Caring, patient and empathetic
• Calm, resilient and positive
• Excellent communicators with strong interpersonal skills
• Passionate about helping children reach their potential
• Reliable, flexible and eager to learn
• Able to build positive relationships with pupils and staff

Whether you already have experience in education, care, youth work, mental health support or are looking to begin a career in SEN, we’d love to hear from you.

What Tradewind Recruitment Offers

• Competitive daily pay rates

• Free access to over 2,500 CPD courses through The National College
• A dedicated local consultant who specialises in SEN recruitment
• Weekly pay via PAYE

• Opportunities to gain valuable experience within a variety of specialist SEN settings

If you have transferable skills but limited classroom experience, we can also support you through Tradewind's Teaching Assistant training programme to help you develop the knowledge and confidence needed to work successfully within SEN schools.

Tradewind Recruitment is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
