Graduate Primary SEN Teaching Assistant

Location: Bedford | Start Date: September 2025 | Role Type: Full-time, Term Time Only

Are you a graduate ready to make a real impact? Do you want to work in education that's meaningful, hands-on, and future-focused?

At Tradewind Recruitment, we connect passionate graduates with supportive, inclusive schools - and right now, Bedford primary and SEN schools are looking for committed individuals to step into Teaching Assistant roles this September.

This isn't about observation. It's about presence, support, and showing up for pupils who need it most - especially those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including autism, ADHD, and emotional or behavioural challenges.

• Supporting children 1:1 and in small groups to access learning

• Working alongside teachers and SENCOs to implement tailored strategies

• Helping pupils develop confidence, independence, and focus

• Creating a calm, consistent classroom environment

• Gaining valuable experience ahead of teacher training or child-focused careers

• A graduate from any discipline, ideally with some experience supporting children or young people

• Patient, resilient, and naturally empathetic

• Curious about education and committed to inclusive practice

• Based in or near Bedford, and available full-time from September

• A paid, full-time role where you'll learn on the job

• Access to free CPD in SEN, behaviour support, safeguarding and more

• Long-term career support, including teacher training pathways

• Dedicated guidance from consultants who know the Bedford school landscape

• Real classroom experience - not admin, not observation - with real pupils
