Are you looking to make a meaningful impact in Further Education?

Tradewind Recruitment is seeking a passionate and dedicated SEN Teaching Assistant to join an outstanding, highly specialised Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) School in Leyland.

What We Are Looking For:

Adaptable Approach: A resilient, empathetic, and patient nature, with a genuine desire to celebrate small steps of progress.

Communication Skills: Familiarity with or a willingness to learn communication tools (such as PECS or visual timetables) is advantageous.

Compliance: Must hold an Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service, or be fully prepared to apply for a new one through Tradewind.
