Post 16 Complex Needs Teaching Assistant

North East London
£85 - £100 daily PAYE
Post 16 Complex Needs Teaching Assistant
Location: East London
Pay: £85 to £100 per day (PAYE)
Contract: Full time | Temp to Perm Opportunity
“Imagine helping a young person with complex needs take their first steps towards independence — and knowing you played a part in that journey.”
This role is not just about education — it is about preparing young people for life. We are working with a progressive, inclusive specialist school in East London that supports students aged 16 to 19 with a range of complex needs. Many are neurodivergent, non verbal, or require physical support — and they are also artists, gamers, musicians, deep thinkers, and full of potential.
Here, learning can look like:
Practising travel skills to build confidence on public transport
Preparing a simple meal with support
Managing sensory input in a busy space
Learning to self advocate — in whatever way that communication happens
As a Post 16 Teaching Assistant, your role is to support these young people emotionally, practically and socially as they begin to navigate the world of adulthood. You will work closely with teachers, therapists and families to make every day meaningful, empowering and tailored to each student’s individual journey.
Your day to day might include:
Supporting a small group of students on personalised timetables
Assisting with life skills sessions such as cooking and money handling
Using AAC, Makaton or communication grids to support interaction
Providing personal care (feeding, toileting, hoisting — full training provided)
Helping students manage behaviours linked to anxiety, trauma or communication needs
This role would suit someone who:
Has experience in SEND, care work or youth support — or is strongly motivated to enter this field
Is calm, patient and emotionally intelligent, especially in challenging moments
Understands that progress does not always look linear — it can be quiet, subtle and deeply meaningful
Wants to make a lasting difference as young people transition into adult life
This is the kind of role that asks for your full attention — but gives back in moments you will carry with you long after the school day ends.
Interested?

ARP Learning Support Assistant
Havering
North East London
£85-£95 per day
Location: Havering
Pay: £85 to £90 per day (PAYE)
Full time | Temp to perm | Start date: ASAP
"The best way to reach a child is to meet them exactly where they are, without asking them to change first."
In a vibrant primary school in the heart of Havering, there is a carefully designed space dedicated to children with Autism Spectrum Condition. It is known as an Autism Resource Provision, but to the children and the team who support them, it feels more like a second home than a classroom.
This is not a mainstream setting with one or two pupils receiving extra help. It is a dedicated provision where children with autism can thrive in a structured, sensory aware, and emotionally safe environment. The staff here do not rush progress. They celebrate small wins, notice the details, and support every child as an individual.
We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant who is ready to be part of something meaningful. Someone who can offer consistency, warmth and real understanding. You will be working with a team of passionate professionals who truly value what you bring, even if you are still learning the ropes.
What your day may look like
Supporting pupils aged 4 to 11 in a small, calm classroom setting
Helping children communicate in a way that works for them using visuals, objects of reference, or assistive tools
Creating a sense of emotional safety through routine, predictability, and encouragement
Supporting with transitions between activities and spaces, both in the provision and across the wider school
Working closely with teachers, therapists, and families to build trust and consistency
This role could be perfect for you if
You have supported children or young people with autism in any setting, including care, family, youth work, or education
You are curious, patient and ready to learn
You are comfortable with emotional and behavioural needs and understand that every behaviour has a reason
You are looking for a role that gives you a sense of purpose at the end of the day
You do not need to have school-based experience to apply. What matters most is your attitude, your compassion and your commitment to showing up each day with care.
Why this school stands out
A purpose built Autism Resource Provision with sensory rooms and tailored support areas
A genuinely kind and collaborative team who support one another
A school leadership team that invests in staff wellbeing and professional growth
Opportunities to move into teacher training and other specialist pathways in SEND
Why work with Parker Smith Inclusion
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we are more than just recruiters. We are advocates for inclusive education and people who truly care about the impact of the roles we help to fill.
You can expect:
A personal approach and honest guidance throughout your journey
Access to SEND specialist roles that are not widely advertised
A transparent PAYE payroll system with no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
Ongoing support from professionals who understand the sector and your needs
If this sounds like the kind of place you would like to be part of, or if you are curious to explore other SEND opportunities, get in touch.
