Job Description
This Isn't Just a Job. It's Your Start in Education.
You've got a degree. You want to do something meaningful. You're not here to follow the crowd - and neither are we.
At Tradewind Recruitment, we don't do generic. We connect thoughtful, driven graduates with real roles that make a difference - and right now, schools in Bedford are looking for individuals like you to step into full-time Teaching Assistant positions starting September 2025.
This isn't about standing at the back of the classroom.
This is about showing up, being present, and helping young people unlock their potential - especially those who need a bit more support to thrive.
What You'll Be Doing
Working alongside experienced teachers in Bedford's primary, middle, or secondary schools
Supporting pupils with learning, focus, and confidence - 1:1, in small groups, or whole-class settings
Engaging with learners with diverse needs, including autism, ADHD, and social-emotional challenges
Building trust, modelling patience, and bringing curiosity to every day
Learning from the inside how great classrooms really work
Who You Are
A graduate with a sharp mind and a genuine interest in people
Someone who sees education as more than grades - you care about growth
You've worked with young people before (in any setting) or know you'd thrive doing it
You're patient, adaptable, and up for the unexpected
You don't need to be qualified yet. Just committed.
What You'll Get from Us
Paid, full-time experience that actually means something
Free, practical CPD that helps you build your skill set fast
Long-term options and career progression - including routes into teaching
Real talk from a local consultant who knows Bedford's schools
No fluff. Just support, honesty, and schools where you can make an impact
If you're in Bedford (or nearby) and ready to start a role that challenges, excites, and teaches you something new every day - this is your chance.
We don't send CVs into black holes. We make real matches. Ready to talk? Apply now.
