PMLD Learning Support Assistant – East London
£85–£100 per day (PAYE) | Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Long-Term Role
“In a world of noise, be the calm.”
In a nurturing, specialist school tucked away in East London, every interaction matters. Here, connection comes before curriculum — and presence is everything.
We’re looking for a compassionate, grounded individual to join the team as a PMLD Learning Support Assistant, supporting children with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Many pupils are non-verbal, use wheelchairs, and have complex sensory or medical needs. Communication might come through eye gaze, facial expressions, or gentle movements — all calling for patience, empathy, and deep attentiveness.
Your role will include:
-
Providing 1:1 or small-group support to pupils with highly individual learning and care needs
-
Supporting sensory-led learning using PECS, switches, visual timetables, and more
-
Assisting with personal care (toileting, feeding, hoisting – full training provided)
-
Helping pupils feel safe, calm, and supported through consistent, responsive care
-
Working closely with teachers, therapists, and carers as part of a skilled SEN team
Who we’re looking for:
-
Someone kind, emotionally mature, and ready to learn
-
No formal experience needed — but care, support work, or SEND backgrounds are valued
-
A team player who thrives in a thoughtful, values-driven environment
You’ll be joining a school where people are supported, not just trained — where meaningful relationships and steady progress matter most.
If you're looking for purposeful, lasting work, we’d love to hear from you.
