As a Teaching Assistant, you already understand the importance of patience, care, and consistency.
But within a PMLD or Complex Needs setting, those qualities become life-changing. This is an opportunity to support children and young people with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties in a specialist environment where every interaction matters. For these students, progress looks different and the smallest moments can be the biggest achievements.
As a PMLD/Complex Needs Teaching Assistant, you’ll support students with complex learning, physical, and medical needs throughout the school day. This may include supporting sensory learning, communication, personal care, feeding, and mobility.
You’ll work closely with teachers, therapists, and medical professionals to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where students can access learning in a way that works for them.
No two days will ever be the same, but every day will have purpose.
Whether you’re experienced in PMLD or Complex Needs, or looking to develop within specialist SEND education, this role offers an incredibly rewarding career path.
