The Role

Tradewind Recruitment are currently seeking an enthusiastic, energetic and sporty Teaching Assistant to work within a specialist alternative provision setting.

This is a particularly active role, making it a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in sport, coaching, PE, fitness or outdoor activities. Candidates who enjoy getting involved, leading activities and keeping young people engaged through sport and physical activity tend to do particularly well.

The Ideal Candidate

  • A sporty, energetic individual who enjoys keeping active.

  • Previous experience in sports coaching, PE, fitness, outdoor education or working with young people.

  • Confident leading and participating in sports, games and physical activities.

  • Able to build positive relationships with pupils who may display challenging behaviour.

  • A positive, patient and resilient approach.

  • A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.

  • Must be available Monday to Friday, full-time.

Pay & Availability

The daily rate will range from £95-£120, depending on experience.

Candidates looking to secure the higher end of the pay scale (£120 per day) will need to demonstrate strong relevant experience and be available to work five days a week, Monday to Friday.

Please note that being a driver and having full Monday-Friday availability are essential requirements for this position.
