Candidates

With our expertise in SEND, we recognise the importance of finding the perfect role in SEND for you. We specialise exclusively in SEND positions across various school settings, ensuring you are only offered roles that align with your personal preferences and skills. 

We pay all of our agency staff directly through PAYE, without using third-party payroll companies, because we believe in ensuring your pay is fair and transparent. As long as school budgets permit, candidates pay will match the equivalent of their permanent salary.

Given the importance of consistency when supporting children and young people with additional needs, we exclusively offer long-term or permanent SEND roles. Our goal at PS Inclusion is to place you in a SEN position where you’ll want to stay, allowing you to become a valued part of the team and build strong, lasting relationships with the children and young people you support.

We have developed strong, long-standing partnerships with the schools and education providers we work with. As a result, we often recruit for SEND roles that have not yet been advertised or are exclusively managed by Parker Smith Inclusion.

SEN Teacher – Complex Needs Kingston upon Thames, South West London Full-Time | Long-Term to Permanent | January Start M1 to M6 Outer London, £194.21 to £258.84 PAYE per day Some schools simply feel different the moment you walk in, calmer, more purposeful, and built entirely around the children who need the most thoughtful teaching. This specialist SEND setting in Kingston is exactly that. The school supports pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and Autism/ASC, all of whom have EHCPs. It’s a place where progress is measured in small, meaningful steps; where safety, structure and communication come first; and where teachers are genuinely supported to do their best work. If you are considering a move into SEND, or you already work within the sector but feel ready for a better environment, this could be the change you’ve been searching for. Why this school stands out This is a setting where everything from the building's layout to the curriculum approach has been carefully designed with intention. Small class groups with excellent staffing ratios Calm, low-arousal classrooms with sensory-friendly design A therapeutic, multidisciplinary team working alongside you Leadership that listens, supports, and makes sure staff never feel alone in the classroom This isn’t firefighting. It’s thoughtful teaching with the right structures around you. What you’ll be doing You’ll lead a small class of pupils who each experience the world in their own way. Your teaching will be highly personalised, creative and rooted in communication, regulation and connection. You’ll be using approaches such as: Multi-sensory and experiential learning Structured routines and visual supports Individualised planning with tiny, meaningful steps Close collaboration with therapists and behaviour specialists Assistive technology and interactive tools Strategies that reduce anxiety and build emotional regulation Progress here doesn’t look like rushing through levels. It seems like trust… consistency… the first time a pupil uses a new sign… engages for the whole session… or shows confidence you haven’t seen before. Those moments are everything. What the school offers you Small, well-resourced classes where your impact is felt every day Modern, specialist facilities designed for complex needs A supportive, highly skilled therapy and leadership team Genuine training and development in PMLD, SLD, Autism and sensory approaches A clear pathway if you’re exploring future leadership roles A culture grounded in kindness and professionalism, people stay because it’s a good place to work Whether you’re coming from mainstream or another SEND setting, you’ll be supported from day one. Who we’re looking for A qualified teacher (QTS/QTLS) Someone with strong classroom practice and a calm, reflective approach Experience with PMLD/SLD/ASC is desirable but absolutely not essential A teacher who values connection, consistency and creativity Ready for the next step? If this sounds like an environment where you could thrive and where your work truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.
