Whether you're an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant, a graduate considering a career in education, or someone with transferable experience supporting children or vulnerable individuals, we'd love to hear from you.

As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you'll play a vital role in helping pupils overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential. Working closely with teachers and SENCOs, you'll provide tailored support to students with a range of additional needs, including Autism (ASC), ADHD, speech and language difficulties, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, and other learning differences. Your support could be delivered on a one-to-one basis, in small groups, or within the classroom, depending on each school's requirements.

At Tradewind Recruitment, we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our partner schools throughout Milton Keynes, offering opportunities in welcoming and supportive educational settings. Whether you're looking for flexible day-to-day work, long-term placements, or a permanent opportunity, we can help you find a role that matches your skills and career goals.

We are looking for candidates who:

  • Have experience working with children or young people, particularly those with SEN (preferred but not essential)
  • Demonstrate patience, empathy and excellent communication skills
  • Are proactive, adaptable and committed to supporting every child's individual needs
  • Hold (or are willing to obtain) an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service
  • Have the legal right to work in the UK

In return, Tradewind Recruitment offers:

  • Competitive daily rates of pay
  • Flexible working opportunities to suit your lifestyle
  • Access to free, accredited CPD through The National College
  • A dedicated consultant providing ongoing support throughout your placement
  • Opportunities to work in a variety of excellent partner schools across Milton Keynes
  • Clear pathways into long-term and permanent positions

Every day as an SEN Teaching Assistant presents an opportunity to inspire confidence, encourage independence and make a meaningful impact on a child's educational journey. If you're ready to begin or continue a rewarding career supporting pupils with additional needs, we'd love to hear from you.
