Tradewind Recruitment is looking for proactive and compassionate SEN Teaching Assistants to support pupils on the Hoo Peninsula. We work with schools providing specialist education for children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and we need TAs who are adaptable, engaging, and can build meaningful relationships while being excellent role models.

Role & Responsibilities
As a TA, you will:

  • Support pupils with ASD in accessing lessons and activities across a bespoke curriculum.
  • Work 1:1 or with small groups to help pupils make progress academically, socially, and emotionally.
  • Collaborate with class teachers, therapists, and other staff to deliver therapeutic approaches integral to the school ethos.
  • Assist in organising and supervising experiential activities (e.g., forest school, STEM workshops) that are key to the curriculum.
  • Promote positive behaviour, confidence, and resilience in pupils.
  • Work with parents, carers, and the wider school team to support pupil progress and wellbeing.
  • Contribute to creating a safe, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment.
  • Take initiative and form positive, meaningful relationships with pupils.
  • Be flexible and adaptable, as tasks may change at short notice - you may be asked to support different groups or go on school trips.

Requirements

  • Must have a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle.
  • Caring, patient, and flexible approach with a genuine passion for supporting pupils with ASD.
  • Comfortable providing personal care, including toileting and feeding.
  • Strong communication skills and proactive attitude.

  • Full legal right to work in the UK.

What We Offer

  • Competitive daily rate with weekly PAYE pay.
  • Access to over 2,000 CPD courses through The National College.
  • Supportive school placement with experienced staff and ongoing supervision.
