1:1 Teaching Assistant

PMLD Teaching Assistant Barking and Dagenham £85–£100 per day PAYE Full-time (term time) | Long-term opportunity “Connection is built in the quiet moments.” In a calm, welcoming specialist school nestled in the heart of Barking and Dagenham, there's a classroom where learning looks a little different — quieter, slower, but no less profound. The pupils here live with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Many are non-verbal, use wheelchairs, and have complex sensory and medical needs. Communication happens through subtle cues — an eye flicker, a smile, a sound — and you’ll learn to listen with more than your ears. This isn’t a noisy, fast-paced setting. It’s one where patience, presence, and emotional attunement are everything. You’ll work closely with experienced teachers, therapists, and carers, supporting students 1:1 or in small groups. Together, you’ll deliver sensory-based, relationship-focused learning that values safety, trust, and emotional connection above all else. What you'll be doing: Supporting pupils with bespoke learning and care plans. Using tools like PECS, visual timetables, sensory activities, and communication aids. Assisting with personal care (toileting, feeding, hoisting — full training provided). Helping students feel safe, seen, and supported through consistent, calm care. Becoming a trusted presence in a child’s world that can often feel overwhelming. What we’re looking for: Emotional resilience, kindness, and a genuine willingness to learn. No experience needed — but any background in care, support work, or SEND is a big plus. A team player with a calm presence and open heart. You’ll be joining a school that invests in its people — where development and reflection are part of the culture, and where staff feel truly valued. If you're looking for a role where your presence can make a quiet but lasting difference, we’d love to hear from you. To apply, send your CV to Elisha at elisha@psinclusion.co.uk

PMLD Teaching Assistant East London £85–£100 per day PAYE | Full-time (term time) | Long-term opportunity “The smallest interactions can carry the most meaning.” In this warm, inclusive specialist school tucked away in East London, there’s a classroom where noise levels are low but connection runs deep. The children you’ll support are all living with profound and multiple learning disabilities — many are non-verbal, use wheelchairs, and have significant sensory and medical needs. Some might communicate through eye gaze, others with facial expressions or gentle movements. It’s not the kind of classroom where you’ll be shouting over the noise — it’s one where you’ll learn to speak a new language: the language of presence, patience, and perceptiveness. You’ll work 1:1 or in small groups, supporting a team of experienced SEN professionals — including teachers, therapists, and specialist carers - to deliver meaningful, sensory-based learning that prioritises connection and comfort over academic outcomes. What you'll be doing: Supporting pupils with highly individual learning and care plans. Using tools like PECS, sensory play, switches, and visual timetables. Assisting with personal care (toileting, feeding, hoisting — training provided). Helping students regulate and feel safe through calm, responsive support. Being a consistent, trusted presence in a world that may feel overwhelming for them. What we're looking for: Someone with emotional maturity, compassion, and a real willingness to learn. No prior experience required, but any background in care, support work, or SEND is hugely valued. You’ll be joining a school where staff are nurtured, not just trained. Where you’ll be supported to grow, reflect, and work as part of a team that shares your values. If you're someone who wants to do meaningful work, the kind that stays with you, this is it.
