Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils to encourage engagement and resilience.
Assist teachers with differentiated learning and behaviour strategies.
Provide 1:1 and small-group support tailored to individual needs.
Help create a calm, safe, and inclusive learning environment.

Experience working with children or young people, ideally with SEMH or additional needs.
A calm, compassionate, and proactive approach.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
A valid Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply through Tradewind.
Relevant qualifications (e.g. Level 2/3 TA, Youth Work, Psychology, Counselling, or similar) are desirable but not essential.
Why Work with Tradewind Recruitment?
Competitive pay, paid weekly.
Access to accredited CPD and specialist SEN training.
Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant.
