Tradewind Recruitment is partnering with specialist SEND schools that support children and young people with complex learning needs, behavioural challenges, and communication difficulties. We are actively seeking Team Teach-trained professionals to join our dedicated pool of support staff.

Who We're Looking For:
We welcome applicants who:

  • Are Team Teach trained (up-to-date or willing to refresh)

  • Have experience working in SEND/SEN schools, PRUs, SEMH settings, or alternative provisions

  • Come from a care, youth work, or behaviour support background

Your confidence in de-escalation, positive handling approaches, and relationship-building will be essential in providing a safe and supportive learning environment.

  • Team Teach strategies and positive behaviour support

  • Supporting pupils with complex learning needs and challenging behaviour

  • Using visual aids, PECs, and other communication tools

  • Personal care needs

  • Moving & handling

  • PEG feeding, medication administration, and (where relevant) tracheostomy care

The Role:
You will work alongside teachers, behaviour leads, and therapists to support pupils with SEMH needs, communication challenges, sensory needs, and significant learning difficulties. You'll help maintain safe spaces, implement behaviour plans, and encourage emotional regulation and engagement in learning.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive daily rates

  • Free Team Teach refreshers (where required)

  • Access to ongoing CPD and behaviour training

  • A supportive SEND-focused consultant team

  • Flexible working: long-term, short-term, and permanent roles

  • A chance to make a real impact in specialist settings

Apply Today!
If you're Team Teach trained and passionate about supporting students with complex needs, we'd love to hear from you.
