Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking a Behaviour Support Teaching Assistant to work on a 1:1 basis with a Year 3 pupil who exhibits significant behavioural challenges.

  • A calm, patient, and resilient approach to behaviour management
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with staff and parents
  • A flexible and adaptable attitude, able to respond quickly to changing situations

This role is perfect for someone with a passion for supporting children who need patience, encouragement, and structure in order to succeed. If you thrive in a hands‑on, dynamic environment where every day is different – this is the role for you.
