Tradewind Recruitment are currently recruiting for an experienced and resilient Teaching Assistant to join a specialist school within a multi-academy trust, supporting children and young people with very complex and high-level needs. This is a rewarding role, but it is important to be realistic about the demands involved. The pupils may present with challenging behaviour, communication difficulties, physical needs and behaviours that can include aggression or other behaviours of concern. This is not a straightforward classroom-based TA position, and the successful candidate will need to be prepared for days that can be physically and emotionally demanding.
We are looking for someone with a calm, patient and nurturing approach who can build strong relationships while maintaining appropriate boundaries. Experience within SEN, complex needs, challenging behaviour, care, residential support, healthcare or similar environments would be highly beneficial.
The Role
- Supporting pupils with complex and additional needs on a 1:1 or small-group basis
- Providing a calm, nurturing and consistent approach
- Supporting communication, learning and emotional regulation
- Managing challenging situations professionally and safely
