Are you passionate about helping young children learn and develop? Tradewind Recruitment is recruiting Teaching Assistants for Early Years settings across Bury.

This is an opportunity to work alongside experienced Early Years practitioners and support children as they develop their communication, social skills, confidence and early academic understanding.

You could be supporting children through structured activities, play-based learning, phonics, early mathematics and everyday classroom routines.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic and able to create positive relationships with young children while maintaining a safe and stimulating environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting children during play and structured learning
• Helping develop communication and language
• Supporting early phonics and literacy
• Encouraging early mathematical development
• Helping children develop independence
• Assisting with classroom routines
• Supporting children who require additional help

Previous Early Years experience is desirable, although candidates with nursery, childcare or relevant youth work experience may also be suitable.

You should be patient, energetic and comfortable working in a busy classroom where children are learning through a combination of structured activities and exploration.

Tradewind offers opportunities for day-to-day supply, giving you flexibility around your availability, alongside longer-term placements for those looking for a more consistent role.

You’ll also benefit from a dedicated consultant, competitive pay and access to professional development opportunities.
