Aperçu — adapté à Tradewind Recruitment
Dear Hiring Manager,
Tradewind Recruitment's supply Teaching Assistant roles across Mansfield and Nottingham align directly with my experience in primary classroom support and SEN assistance. The combination of flexible day-to-day supply and longer-term placements is exactly the kind of varied, hands-on role I am seeking to build my career in education.
My background in supporting pupils across KS1 and KS2 includes one-to-one literacy interventions, small group numeracy sessions, and assisting class teachers with behaviour management strategies for pupils with additional needs. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate registered on the Update Service and am comfortable stepping into unfamiliar school environments at short notice.
