Some roles ask more of you — patience, empathy, and a genuine commitment to supporting pupils with complex needs. This is one of them.
We are working with one of our specialist school's to recruit a PMLD Teaching Assistant to support pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties in a nurturing and well-resourced setting.
This is a role where small moments matter, and where your support can make a meaningful difference to a child’s daily experience.
The Role:
As a PMLD Teaching Assistant, you will support pupils with complex physical, medical and learning needs. This may include sensory-based learning, communication support, personal care and working alongside therapists and teaching staff to deliver highly individualised education.
You will help create a calm, structured environment where pupils feel safe, valued and supported to engage with the world around them at their own pace.
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Has experience supporting children or young people with PMLD, complex needs or disabilities (formal or informal)
-
Is comfortable supporting with personal care and medical needs
-
Is calm, compassionate and attentive to non-verbal communication
-
Works well as part of a multidisciplinary team
-
Is committed to inclusive and dignified care
