The Role

As part of the role, you will provide day-to-day administrative support within the school office, helping the setting run smoothly and efficiently. You will also work alongside teaching staff to support students with their learning and engagement in the classroom.

Building positive and trusting relationships with students
Helping to create a calm, structured and supportive learning environment

About You

We are looking for someone who is organised, reliable and confident working with both adults and young people. You will need to be able to manage administrative tasks effectively while also being comfortable working in a classroom environment.

Previous experience within a school, Alternative Provision, SEN setting or similar environment would be highly beneficial. Experience supporting students with additional needs, SEMH or challenging behaviour would also be advantageous.

The successful candidate will ideally have:

Previous administrative experience
Previous classroom or learning support experience
Excellent organisational and communication skills
A calm, patient and adaptable approach
The ability to build positive relationships with young people
Confidence working independently and as part of a wider team
Good IT and administrative skills
A genuine interest in supporting young people who may have struggled within mainstream educationThis is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys having a varied role and wants to make a real difference both behind the scenes and directly with students.

The position is full-time and booked via Tradewind Recruitment, with a temp-to-perm opportunity available for the right candidate. If you have experience across both administration and learning support and are looking for a role where no two days are quite the same, we'd love to hear from you.
