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 Northampton 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.
