Why Join Tradewind? Let's Break It Down:
High-Quality Pay - We believe your finely tuned skills deserve precision pay. Whether you're chiselling out ideas or modelling in CAD, you'll be well-compensated.
Flexibility by Design - Like a modular project, you choose the components of your week. Full-time, part-time, or the occasional project - you control the blueprint.
Stay Local, Stay Sharp - No need to bolt across the region. We place teachers in secondary schools across Oldham and Rochdale, so whether you're teaching carpentry skills in Chadderton, sanding in Sandbrook or milling in Milnrow, your next role is right around the corner.

Cut Stress, Not Corners - With no take-home work, your evenings are yours to recharge, just like a cordless drill at the end of the day.
Holiday Pay Options - Choose how you bank your break time. Pay as you go or save it for a full reset during the school holidays.
