SEND Teaching Assistant
Special School for Pupils with Complex Needs and PMLD
Full Time | Long Term or Temp to Perm
We are working with a specialist school in Haringey that is seeking calm, patient and dedicated support staff to join their team. The school supports children and young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, complex medical needs, communication difficulties and physical disabilities. Many pupils are non-verbal and rely on sensory input, consistency and specialist support throughout the school day.
As a member of the support staff team, you will help create a safe, calm and nurturing environment where pupils can learn, communicate and develop at their own pace. Your role will involve assisting with learning activities, following personalised plans, supporting communication, helping with sensory work and routines, and working closely with teachers, therapists and other professionals.
No two days are the same in this setting. You may support pupils with movement, sensory exploration, physio programmes and activities designed to build communication and independence. You will need to be flexible, observant and ready to adapt your approach depending on each child’s needs and emotional state.
The school is looking for individuals who are caring, reliable and confident working within a specialist provision. Experience in SEND, PMLD, complex needs, care, or supporting non-verbal pupils is helpful, but the school is also open to people with the right attitude, resilience and willingness to learn.
This is an incredibly rewarding role where small steps of progress mean everything. You will be part of a supportive, skilled and friendly team who share a genuine commitment to the wellbeing and development of their pupils.

A SEND school in Haringey is looking for a dedicated and nurturing teacher to join their specialist setting, supporting pupils with a wide range of complex needs. The school provides education for children and young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, physical disabilities, communication difficulties, and significant developmental needs.
Teaching at this school is centred around a highly personalised and sensory-based curriculum. Staff work closely with therapists, support workers, and families to ensure each pupil has the right level of care, structure, and opportunity to progress. Every day focuses on communication, emotional regulation, independence and helping pupils experience success in a way that is meaningful to them.
Class sizes are small with strong support from experienced teaching assistants and specialist staff. This allows teachers to take a creative, flexible and child-centred approach, adapting learning to each pupil’s abilities, interests and sensory needs. The school values teamwork, patience and a calm, consistent attitude.
The ideal teacher will have experience or a strong interest in working with children with complex needs or PMLD. You should be patient, adaptable and open to using sensory resources, visuals, routines and therapeutic teaching approaches. A positive attitude, a collaborative approach and a genuine commitment to helping every pupil feel safe and valued are essential.
Whether you are an experienced SEND teacher or a mainstream teacher looking to move into a specialist environment, this role offers a highly rewarding opportunity to make a difference in a school that celebrates every small step of progress.

PRU Teacher

PRU Teacher
Pupil Referral Unit – Inner London
MPS–UPS3 | Full Time | Temp to Perm
January 2026
Teaching in a PRU is not just a jobnit’s a calling. Every day brings moments of challenge, growth, and genuine impact. You already understand that strong relationships are at the heart of teaching, but in a busy mainstream environment, it can be hard to give each child what they truly need. If you’re ready for a role where your presence, patience, and belief in young people genuinely change lives, this could be your next step.
We are working alongside a dedicated Pupil Referral Unit offering specialist support for primary-aged pupils who have struggled to access mainstream education. These children may display heightened emotions, behavioural challenges, or have experienced instability that has shaped how they respond to school. What they need is a teacher who sees beyond the behaviour, someone who recognises their potential, their story, and their strengths.
In this PRU, teaching feels different. Class sizes are small, allowing you to build meaningful, trusting relationships. Success is celebrated in many forms: improved self-regulation, a positive interaction, a moment of confidence, or small steps back towards a love of learning. Every child follows a personalised curriculum built around their needs, abilities, and emotional development.
You may already have experience within SEMH or alternative provision. You might simply have the resilience, empathy, and creativity to work with young people who need a fresh start. What matters is your ability to remain calm, curious, and consistent and your commitment to understanding behaviour as a form of communication.
This is a role for a teacher who refuses to give up, who can think outside the box, and who wants to be part of a team that transforms challenges into breakthroughs.
If you’re ready to work in a setting where your impact is seen and felt every day, we would love to hear from you.
