Job description

This Isn't Just a Role. It's a Real Start in Education.

You want your work to matter - and you're not interested in blending into the background. Neither are we.

At Tradewind Recruitment, we specialise in connecting committed, compassionate individuals with schools that value people, not just paperwork. Right now, mainstream and specialist schools in Luton are looking for Primary Teaching Assistants to start in September 2025 - and if you're ready to support learners who need a bit more, this could be the opportunity that changes everything.

This isn't about watching from the sidelines.
This is about showing up, building trust, and being the person who helps a child feel seen, heard, and capable.

What You'll Be Doing

• Working alongside dedicated teachers in Luton's primary or secondary schools

• Supporting pupils with special educational needs - including autism, ADHD, and SEMH

• Helping children with focus, communication, and self-confidence, both 1:1 and in small groups

• Encouraging progress through consistency, kindness, and creativity

• Gaining first-hand insight into inclusive, impactful teaching

Who You Are

• A graduate (in any subject) who's motivated by purpose, not just pay

• Someone who values patience, empathy, and clear communication

• You've worked with children or young people before - or know you'd connect well with them

• You're flexible, thoughtful, and ready to grow

• No formal qualifications needed - just a strong commitment to making a difference

What You'll Get from Us

• Full-time paid experience with purpose

• Free, hands-on CPD to help you build the right tools fast

• Career pathways into teaching and beyond

• Personalised support from a consultant who knows Luton schools

• Real opportunities - not empty promises
