Flexible SEN Teaching Assistant – Bradford
Location: Across Bradford
Contract: Flexible / Supply (choose your days)
Start: Ongoing
Love working with children but want the freedom to pick when and where you work?
We’re looking for Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistants to join our flexible supply team in Bradford. You’ll be supporting children with additional needs across several local primary schools — helping them to feel confident, included, and ready to learn.
It’s ideal for anyone with childcare experience who’s looking to gain more hands-on experience in SEN settings, without committing to one long-term role.
What you’ll be doing:
* Supporting pupils with a range of additional needs (autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech & language, etc.)
* Working 1:1 or in small groups to help children engage and succeed
* Creating a calm, nurturing classroom environment
* Adapting to different schools and routines — no two days are the same!
What we’re looking for:
* Experience working with children or young people (in schools, nurseries, or childcare settings)
* A caring, proactive attitude and the ability to build quick rapport
* Flexibility — you choose your days and we’ll match you to the right schools
* SEN experience or training is a bonus (and if you’d like to build your skills, we offer free Thrive training too!)
Why join Protocol Education?
* Weekly pay through PAYE – no umbrella companies
* ️ Total flexibility – choose when and where you work
* Free access to our online CPD Academy (including Thrive training)
* Friendly, local consultant support every step of the way
If you’re ready to make a difference, meet inspiring pupils, and enjoy flexible work that fits your life — we’d love to have you on our team.
