SEN Teacher
Barking and Dagenham
North East London
£160 - £220
SEN Teacher – Barking & Dagenham
£160–£220 per day PAYE
Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Long-Term Role
“The smallest steps can lead to the biggest breakthroughs.”
In a specialist school in Barking & Dagenham, children with complex needs are learning to connect, grow, and thrive — at their own pace, in their own way. What they need most is a teacher who understands that progress looks different for every child.
This is a setting for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD), and autism. Many are non-verbal. Some require medical or physical support. All deserve a teacher who leads with empathy, curiosity, and calm.
We’re looking for someone who teaches with intention — who knows that before learning can happen, trust must come first.
What you’ll do:
Lead a small class with the support of skilled Learning Support Assistants
Plan and deliver a creative, sensory-based curriculum tailored to each child’s needs
Use a range of communication strategies (PECS, Makaton, AAC) to support understanding and engagement
Work closely with therapists, families, and a compassionate multi-disciplinary team
Create a safe, predictable, and nurturing environment that allows students to feel secure and seen
Who we’re looking for:
A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with a passion for inclusive education
Experience working with SEN, or a strong desire to learn and grow in this area
Emotionally resilient, patient, and reflective in your approach
Committed to building strong, respectful relationships with pupils and colleagues alike
This school is more than a workplace — it’s a community built on care, trust, and purpose. If you’re looking to do work that leaves a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.

PMLD Learning Support Assistant
Havering
North East London
£85-£100
PMLD Learning Support Assistant – East London
£85–£100 per day (PAYE) | Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Long-Term Role
“In a world of noise, be the calm.”
In a nurturing, specialist school tucked away in East London, every interaction matters. Here, connection comes before curriculum — and presence is everything.
We’re looking for a compassionate, grounded individual to join the team as a PMLD Learning Support Assistant, supporting children with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Many pupils are non-verbal, use wheelchairs, and have complex sensory or medical needs. Communication might come through eye gaze, facial expressions, or gentle movements — all calling for patience, empathy, and deep attentiveness.
Your role will include:
Providing 1:1 or small-group support to pupils with highly individual learning and care needs
Supporting sensory-led learning using PECS, switches, visual timetables, and more
Assisting with personal care (toileting, feeding, hoisting – full training provided)
Helping pupils feel safe, calm, and supported through consistent, responsive care
Working closely with teachers, therapists, and carers as part of a skilled SEN team
Who we’re looking for:
Someone kind, emotionally mature, and ready to learn
No formal experience needed — but care, support work, or SEND backgrounds are valued
A team player who thrives in a thoughtful, values-driven environment
You’ll be joining a school where people are supported, not just trained — where meaningful relationships and steady progress matter most.
If you're looking for purposeful, lasting work, we’d love to hear from you.

PMLD Teacher
Merton
South West London
£39,320 - £48,532 per annum
PMLD Teacher
Full-Time | Permanent | September Start | Merton, South West London
£39,320 - £48,532 per annum
Every morning, the staff walk through the doors of this peaceful, purpose-built centre knowing that today might not look like a “typical” school day — but that’s exactly the point.
This is a school where communication happens in all kinds of ways — a blink, a smile, a press of a button. It’s where pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties are supported to learn and feel seen, safe, and celebrated. And it’s where one small breakthrough can mean the world.
We’re looking for an experienced and compassionate teacher to take on a full-time, permanent role in this specialist setting. You’ll be leading a small class of children with complex physical and medical needs in a space designed specifically to meet them where they are — and take them somewhere new.
What does a day here look like?
The classrooms are calm and sensory-friendly. Pupils arrive with a range of needs — some in wheelchairs, some using eye gaze or switches to communicate. The team gathers: support staff who know every student inside out, therapists who collaborate on personalised plans, and a school nurse close by.
Together, you’ll deliver a truly individualised curriculum. Forget rigid targets — your focus is on meaningful progress, life skills, joy in learning, and dignity in every interaction. Some days, that might be sharing a moment of connection in a sensory room. Others might be exploring sound, texture, or movement in creative ways.
You won’t be alone. This is a team that supports each other. Training is constant, conversations are open, and everyone is here for the same reason: to give each child the very best.
What kind of teacher are we looking for?
You’re qualified (QTS required) and have real experience with PMLD, complex needs, or a similar setting
You’re confident in creating a calm, safe classroom and leading a strong team of support staff
You understand alternative communication methods — PECS, eye gaze, switches — or you’re ready to learn
You’re comfortable supporting with personal care and medical needs (with training provided)
You’re not an ECT — this role calls for someone with hands-on experience in specialist settings
What’s in it for you?
The chance to teach in a purpose-built, specialist centre that feels more like a community than a school
A deeply rewarding role where you’ll genuinely change lives — not just for pupils, but for their families too
High levels of professional support, training, and collaboration with therapists and specialist teams
A warm, kind, and skilled team that shares your values
Pay matched to your experience (Inner London MPS/UPS + SEN allowance)
This isn’t just another teaching job. It’s an opportunity to teach in a setting where progress looks different — and where every single step forward is something to be proud of.
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we specialise exclusively in SEND recruitment. Our reputation is built on integrity and expertise. With over 350 five-star Google reviews, we are committed to finding the right leadership opportunities for exceptional educators.
