WHAT WE OFFER

Understanding people.
Supporting your purpose.

Our teaching assistants support teachers and help children take part in learning, communicate their needs and develop independence. This includes support for children with special educational needs and learning disabilities. We discuss learning and communication needs, support plans, relevant experience and safeguarding responsibilities with the setting.

We welcome enquiries from organisations across the UK. Tell us about the people you support, their communication needs and the routines that help them feel safe. We agree duties, supervision and staffing arrangements for each assignment.

A few helpful answers

Questions about your next step?

Browse all FAQs →
Can schools request SEND or one-to-one teaching assistant support?

Yes, schools can enquire about classroom, one-to-one, small-group and SEND support. Include the age group, duties, working pattern, relevant experience and supervision arrangements. The school and Bina must agree the required checks, safeguarding reporting route and local induction before the placement starts. Read about education support.

What recruitment and supplier evidence can an organisation request?

Ask for the relevant clearance summary and evidence appropriate to the role, such as identity, right to work, references, training, professional registration and eligible criminal-record checks. Procurement teams can also discuss insurance, policies, data handling and business continuity. Agree a secure sharing route for private documents; framework or approved-supplier status must be established separately.

Who is responsible for induction and authorising specialist duties?

Agree the setting’s induction, supervision, care or support information, escalation contacts and required practical sign-off before work starts. The worker must have the verified competence and authorisation needed for the specific task. Online training or recruitment clearance alone does not authorise a clinical procedure or remove the setting’s own responsibilities.
