SEND Teaching Assistant | Sheffield | Primary Schools | Flexible Part-Time & Full-Time Opportunities

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant with a passion for supporting children with additional needs? Tradewind Recruitment are currently recruiting SEND Teaching Assistants for a variety of primary schools across Sheffield.

We work with schools across the city, giving you the opportunity to find work that suits your experience, availability and preferred setting. Whether you're looking for a few days a week or a full-time role, we can offer flexible opportunities throughout the school year.

As a SEND Teaching Assistant, you could be supporting individual pupils, small groups or working alongside the wider classroom team. The children you support may have a range of additional needs, including:

• Autism and communication difficulties
• ADHD
• SEMH
• Moderate learning difficulties
• Challenging or complex behaviour
• Additional learning and developmental needs

You'll play an important role in helping pupils engage with their learning, develop independence and feel settled and supported within school.

We're particularly interested in hearing from Teaching Assistants who have previous experience supporting children with SEND.

This could have been gained in:

• Mainstream primary schools
• Specialist SEND schools
• Alternative education settings
• One-to-one or small-group support roles

You don't necessarily need a formal SEND qualification if you have strong practical experience. A Team Teach qualification or similar behaviour management/de-escalation training would be a significant advantage, particularly for pupils who require additional behavioural support.

Most importantly, we're looking for people who are patient, resilient and confident building positive relationships with children.

Joining Tradewind gives you more than just access to individual vacancies. We work with a large network of schools and major education trusts across Sheffield, including schools operating through the GCA framework.

As a Tradewind Teaching Assistant, you'll benefit from:

• Free access to The National College with hundreds of CPD courses and training opportunities
• Access to a wide range of Sheffield primary and SEND schools
• Opportunities to work across some of the city's largest school trusts
• Flexible assignments to fit around your availability
• Part-time and full-time opportunities
• Competitive rates of pay
• PAYE employment - no umbrella company
• A dedicated consultant who knows the Sheffield education market
• Support throughout your registration and placements
• The potential to secure longer-term and permanent positions

We keep the registration process as straightforward as possible, and in most cases you can complete your registration from the comfort of your own home.

If you're an experienced SEND Teaching Assistant looking for your next opportunity in Sheffield, we'd love to hear from you.
