Location: Outskirts of Preston

Company: Tradewind Recruitment

Start Date: ASAP

About the Role

Are you a passionate, resilient, and adaptable educator looking for a rewarding role in the Preston area? Tradewind Recruitment is seeking a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant, mainstream secondary school located on the outskirts of Preston.

This is a unique, dual-responsibility role perfect for someone who thrives in dynamic environments and wants to make a tangible difference in young people’s lives.

Responsibilities

• 1:1 Classroom Support: Work closely with specific students within mainstream classes to break down learning barriers, boost confidence, and keep them engaged with the curriculum.
• Exclusion Unit Support: Provide crucial behavioural and pastoral support within the school’s internal exclusion/reintegration unit. You will help students reflect on their choices, manage their behaviour, and stay on track with their studies in a structured environment.
• Collaboration: Work alongside class teachers, the SENCo, and behaviour management teams to implement tailored support plans.

What We Are Looking For

• Prior experience working with secondary-aged children (experience with SEMH, ADHD, or challenging behaviour is highly desirable).
• A calm, firm, but empathetic approach to behaviour management.
• The ability to build strong, trusting relationships with students who may find mainstream education challenging.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for a new one).

Benefits

• We attract top rates of pay because we value our staff.
• We care about your training and development more than any other agency-which is why we can offer you more certified CPD courses than any other education recruitment agency.
• Great referral scheme – recommend a friend and earn a brilliant bonus!
• A straightforward, online registration process and a dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
