Job Description

Support Assistants Needed - Help Educate and Empower Young People In School and Sometimes Off-Site!

Tradewind Recruitment is seeking caring, motivated individuals to support children who need additional help both in school and occasionally in off-site locations. This is a rewarding opportunity for anyone who wants to make a meaningful impact on young people's lives.

The Role

As a Support Assistant, you will work with children and young people who may struggle to attend full-time mainstream education. Your role may include:

  • Delivering personalised one-to-one learning sessions, sometimes off-site when students cannot attend school.

  • Providing emotional, social and practical support to help them stay engaged in education.

  • Creating a calm, positive and encouraging learning environment wherever sessions take place.

  • Working closely with teaching staff to monitor progress, wellbeing and next steps.

  • Helping students build confidence, routine, and re-engagement with learning.

Driving Requirement

Because the role may involve occasional travel to off-site locations, a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential.

About You

We are looking for candidates who are:

  • Patient, resilient and passionate about helping young people succeed.

  • Able to work independently and adapt to different environments.

  • Confident delivering basic curriculum content or tutoring-style sessions.

  • Skilled at building trusting, supportive relationships with young people.

  • Committed to safeguarding and supporting positive outcomes.

What You'll Gain

  • A rewarding role supporting young people who need help the most.

  • A mix of school-based work with some off-site sessions.

  • Ongoing training, support and development opportunities through Tradewind.

  • The chance to make a real difference in your community.
