Job Description

SEN Teaching Assistant - Northampton

Tradewind Recruitment is looking for caring, patient and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistants to support students across a range of specialist schools in Northampton. These settings include primary, secondary and all-through SEN provisions, giving you the chance to find the perfect environment for your skills.

Our partner schools support pupils with:

  • Communication & Interaction needs - including Autism and students needing visual support or structured routines.

  • Cognition & Learning needs - such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and general learning delays.

  • Sensory or Physical needs - where pupils may require adapted activities or mobility support.

  • Moderate to Severe Learning Difficulties - calling for practical, hands-on support.

  • Social, Emotional & Mental Health needs - including ADHD and pupils who benefit from reassurance and consistency.

As an SEN TA, you will help with learning activities, support emotional well-being, promote independence and work closely with teachers and therapists. Experience is helpful but not essential-a positive attitude and willingness to learn are equally valued.

Why work with Tradewind Recruitment?

  • Dedicated consultants who understand SEN and find roles suited to your strengths.

  • Free training and CPD, including working with Autism, behaviour management and safeguarding.

  • Competitive pay and weekly payroll.

  • Variety of roles: full-time, part-time, long-term and flexible assignments.

If you want to make a real difference in pupils' lives and join a supportive team, apply today through Tradewind Recruitment.
