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!
