Have you recently graduated from university and are considering a career in education? Do you have a strong interest in supporting young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including Autism, ADHD, or Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs?

Tradewind Recruitment is working in close partnership with a number of mainstream secondary schools across Nottingham who are looking to appoint Graduate Teaching Assistants. These full-time, term-time only roles provide an excellent opportunity to gain paid, school-based experience - ideal for aspiring teachers, educational psychologists, or youth workers. Many of our placements have led to permanent roles or funded teacher training pathways for the right candidates.

Our client schools are particularly keen to hear from graduates in Psychology, English, Maths, Science, or Humanities - although graduates from all disciplines will be considered.

As a Graduate TA, you can expect a varied and rewarding role. You'll support pupils both in the classroom and through small group or one-to-one interventions, working closely with teaching staff, the SENCO, and pastoral teams.
