About the Role
ARP LSA – Supporting ASC Provision
Location: Havering
Salary: £85 - £90 per day (PAYE payments)
Temp to Perm Opportunity
ASAP Start
Being a SEND Teaching Assistant is about more than just supporting students—it’s about having the time, resources, and the right team around you to do the job you love. In this well-resourced mainstream primary school in Havering, the ARP provision for children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is thoughtfully designed to provide structured, tailored support.
With access to specialist resources, sensory spaces, and a dedicated team, the focus is on creating a calm, engaging environment where both students and staff can thrive. The leadership team understands that staff well-being and development are just as important as student progress, ensuring that you’ll feel valued and supported in your role.
How This School Supports Its Staff:
✔ A well-organised, successful provision that allows you to focus on meaningful support.
✔ A collaborative team that values and invests in its staff.
✔ Wellness days and a strong focus on well-being.
✔ Opportunities for career progression, including teacher training pathways.
Stepping into a new role can feel daunting, but in the right school, it can also be the start of something truly rewarding. If you’re looking for an environment where your skills and dedication are recognised, this could be the perfect fit.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a passionate team, making a real difference in the lives of children with diverse learning needs and helping them reach their full potential. If this sounds like the role for you, or if you'd like to explore other opportunities, give me a call for a confidential chat or send your CV to elisha@psinclusion.co.uk
If this opportunity fits with your current circumstances and ambition, please contact us to discuss how we can guide and advise you going forward. Whether it is this specific role or other SEND teaching opportunities, we can help you find the right next step for your career.
Now is the time to at least be looking at the opportunities your career so far can offer you. September discussions are happening and we can facilitate conversations with multiple schools.
We are very different in our approach as you will see from the voices reviewing and recommending us. If you would like your journey so far to be recognised and respected, Parker Smith Inclusion is the right partner for you and your future.

SEND Teacher – PMLD & Complex Needs
Location: London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
Start Date: September 2025 (Permanent)
Salary: £36,000 – £54,000 + SEN Allowance
Every child deserves to be seen. Every teacher deserves to be supported. This is a school where both happen—every day.
We are working in partnership with an exceptional special school in Barking and Dagenham, seeking a passionate SEND Teacher to join their dedicated team this September. This is more than a teaching role—it's an opportunity to help children with profound and complex needs thrive in a nurturing, well-resourced environment.
The school supports pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) and a range of associated needs. With purpose-built facilities and a highly collaborative staff team, you’ll be well-equipped to provide the personalised, meaningful education these learners deserve.

Tailored Professional Development
Whether you're an experienced SEND practitioner or transitioning from mainstream, you’ll be supported with bespoke CPD, peer coaching, and regular learning opportunities designed to help you grow into your best professional self.
A Culture That Prioritises Wellbeing
This is a school that values people. Staff wellbeing is central to their ethos, with robust support systems, wellbeing initiatives, and a genuine appreciation for the difference you make.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS or equivalent)
A real passion for working with children with complex needs, including PMLD and sensory profiles
A creative, patient, and adaptive teaching style
A collaborative mindset and a commitment to inclusive education
Experience with or a desire to learn about communication tools such as PECS, Makaton, or sensory integration strategies
In Return, You’ll Receive:
A permanent, full-time role in a forward-thinking special school
Access to high-quality facilities and expert support teams
Continuous development opportunities tailored to your career goals
The chance to be part of a wider SEND community supported by Parker Smith Inclusion
PAYE pay structure – no hidden deductions or umbrella fees
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a school that truly understands what inclusion means—and lives it. Whether you're already working in SEND or are curious about where your teaching journey could take you next, we’re here to help you find your fit.

Your Day-to-Day Will Involve:
Working closely with students on Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), providing tailored support
Helping children develop communication, social, and emotional regulation skills
