Job description

Primary Teaching Assistant

A Role That Goes Beyond the Classroom - A Meaningful Start in Education

You're looking for more than just a job - you want purpose, impact, and the chance to make a real difference. At Tradewind Recruitment, we understand that. That's why we partner with schools that value people, not just process.

Right now, schools across High Wycombe - both mainstream and specialist settings - are welcoming applications for Primary Teaching Assistants to begin in September 2025. If you're passionate about helping children thrive and are ready to be a consistent, caring presence in their lives, this could be your first big step in education.

This is not a role where you fade into the background.
It's about showing up daily, building meaningful relationships, and helping each child believe in their potential.

Your Role Will Involve:

• Collaborating with experienced teaching staff in primary or specialist schools across High Wycombe
• Providing tailored support to students with additional needs, including autism, ADHD, and SEMH
• Supporting learning and development in one-on-one and small group settings
• Promoting positive behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and confidence
• Developing hands-on experience in inclusive, student-focused teaching approaches

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Holds a degree in any discipline and is motivated by impact, not just income
• Brings empathy, patience, and strong interpersonal skills
• Has experience working with children or young people - or feels naturally suited to it
• Is adaptable, reflective, and eager to learn
• Doesn't need formal teaching qualifications - just dedication and heart

In Return, You'll Receive:

• A full-time paid position where your work has meaning
• Complimentary access to high-quality CPD sessions to boost your skills
• Clear progression routes into teaching or related education roles
• Ongoing, one-on-one guidance from a consultant who understands local schools
• Genuine career-building opportunities - not vague promises

If you're local to High Wycombe and ready to begin a role that challenges and inspires you daily, we'd love to hear from you.

We don't believe in "just filling a vacancy."
We believe in matching the right person with the right role - because that's where the real impact begins.

Apply now and take the first step toward a career that counts.
