Job Description
Tradewind Recruitment are currently working in partnership with several supportive mainstream primary schools across the Blackburn area. We are looking for caring, motivated SEN Teaching Assistants to work on a 1:1 basis with pupils who have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and require individualised support to thrive in school.
These roles involve working closely with children with a range of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, MLD, and global developmental delays. You'll follow tailored EHCPs, support pupils with their day-to-day learning, and work collaboratively with teachers, SENDCOs and families to ensure the best outcomes.
While these positions are initially temporary, schools frequently offer long-term or permanent contracts to strong, consistent candidates.
What do we look for in a SEN Teaching Assistant?
* A genuine passion for supporting children with SEN
* A reliable, consistent presence who can build trust with pupils
* The ability to work well with staff, parents, and children
* Previous SEN experience is highly beneficial - either personal or professional
In return, Tradewind can offer you:
* A competitive daily rate of £90-£100 depending on experience
* Local placements in schools across Blackburn
* Access to long-term opportunities within our partner schools
* A dedicated consultant who listens to your needs and matches you with suitable roles
* Flexible working to fit around your lifestyle - full-time or part-time options available
* PAYE pay - no hidden umbrella fees
If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real impact on the lives of children with additional needs, we'd love to hear from you!
