Are you a graduate ready to make a real impact? Do you want to work in education that's meaningful, hands-on, and future-focused?

At Tradewind Recruitment, we connect passionate graduates with supportive, inclusive schools - and right now, Bedford primary and SEN schools are looking for committed individuals to step into Teaching Assistant roles this September.

This isn't about observation. It's about presence, support, and showing up for pupils who need it most - especially those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including autism, ADHD, and emotional or behavioural challenges.

What You'll Be Doing:

Supporting children 1:1 and in small groups to access learning
Working alongside teachers and SENCOs to implement tailored strategies
Helping pupils develop confidence, independence, and focus
Creating a calm, consistent classroom environment
Gaining valuable experience ahead of teacher training or child-focused careers

Who You Are:

A graduate from any discipline, ideally with some experience supporting children or young people
Patient, resilient, and naturally empathetic
Curious about education and committed to inclusive practice
Based in or near Bedford, and available full-time from September

What We Offer:

A paid, full-time role where you'll learn on the job
Access to free CPD in SEN, behaviour support, safeguarding and more
Long-term career support, including teacher training pathways
Dedicated guidance from consultants who know the Bedford school landscape
Real classroom experience - not admin, not observation - with real pupils

Ready to get started? Apply now and begin your journey toward a career that changes lives.
