Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference in children's lives? Tradewind Recruitment is working with a number of schools across Central Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas, and we're looking for caring and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistants to join their teams.

These roles are all about supporting children with additional needs - including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - in specialist provisions, small groups, or on a 1:1 basis. If you're passionate about helping children thrive in a nurturing environment, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

  • Supporting children with SEN, helping them to feel confident, safe, and ready to learn

  • Helping to create a positive, supportive atmosphere in the classroom

What we're looking for:

  • Patience, empathy, and a positive outlook

  • Experience with children or young people (in schools, nurseries, youth work, or care) is great - but the right attitude matters most

  • A genuine desire to make a difference every day
