Tradewind are currently recruiting on behalf a brilliant, modern Primary School in Kempston, Bedford. Our partner school is looking for a full-time SEN TA to join them in September 2025. This is a full-time position and your working hours will be 8:10-3:30 each day.

For the right person, this role may lead to full-time employment within the school.
