Learning Support Assistant - ARP
Havering
North East London
£85-£95 per day
Learning Support Assistant – Additional Resource Provision
Location: Havering
Pay: £85–£90 per day (PAYE)
Contract: Full-time | Temp-to-perm | Start date: ASAP
“To connect with a child, we first need to meet them where they are — not where we expect them to be.”
In a welcoming primary school in Havering, there’s a dedicated space created with care and intention — an Autism Resource Provision designed to feel safe, supportive, and sensory-aware. To the pupils, it’s more than a learning space — it’s a place where they can simply be themselves.
This is a specialist setting within a mainstream school, built to meet the unique needs of pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition. It’s not about quick results or fitting children into boxes — it’s about nurturing progress at a pace that respects each individual, celebrating every small step along the way.
We are looking for a Learning Support Assistant who wants to be part of that journey. Someone who brings consistency, compassion, and an open mind — whether or not you’ve worked in a school before.
A Typical Day Might Include:
Supporting children aged 4–11 within a small, low-arousal classroom
Encouraging communication through visual aids, objects of reference, and assistive tools
Building trust through predictable routines and calm, encouraging support
Assisting with transitions between tasks, activities, and different school areas
Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and parents to ensure consistency and care
Is This You?
You may have worked with children or young people with autism — in schools, homes, care settings, or community roles
You are naturally patient, empathetic, and keen to understand behaviour rather than manage it
You value a calm, structured environment where small changes can mean big progress
You’re looking for a purposeful role — something more than “just a job”
You don’t need to have formal training — just the right attitude, willingness to learn, and a steady, caring presence
What Makes This School Special:
A purpose-built provision with sensory rooms, structured learning zones, and specialist resources
A genuinely kind, supportive team that works collaboratively and lifts each other up
Leaders who prioritise staff wellbeing and provide real opportunities for professional development
Pathways into teaching or specialist careers in SEND for those who want to grow
Why Join Parker Smith Inclusion?
We’re not just filling roles — we’re helping shape inclusive environments where both students and staff thrive. With over 350 five-star Google reviews, schools trust us to connect them with people who care.
What you can expect:
Personalised support from SEND specialists who understand your goals
PAYE-only payroll – no umbrella schemes or hidden deductions
Honest, clear advice throughout your journey
Access to meaningful long-term roles across inclusive and specialist schools

Complex Needs Teaching Assistant

£85-£100
Complex Needs Teaching Assistant
Location: East London
Pay: £85–£100 per day (PAYE)
Contract: Full-time, term-time | Long-term role
“Not all classrooms speak in words — some speak in stillness, gestures, and trust.”
Tucked away in East London is a specialist school where connection goes beyond conversation. Here, students with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) are supported not just with structure and care, but with attentiveness, gentleness, and time.
This is a setting where learning is deeply sensory, and communication takes many forms — eye movements, facial expressions, soft sounds. You won’t need to raise your voice. You’ll learn instead to listen with your full attention and respond with calm, steady presence.
What This Role Involves:
You’ll be part of a close-knit team supporting students 1:1 or in small groups, focusing on comfort, connection, and engagement. It’s meaningful work, guided by care plans and collaborative practice.
Assisting with sensory-led learning and therapy activities
Using communication aids such as eye gaze, PECS, switches, and visual timetables
Supporting with personal care (toileting, feeding, hoisting – full training given)
Helping students regulate and feel emotionally and physically safe
Offering consistency in a world that can sometimes feel unpredictable or overwhelming
Who This Role is For:
You don’t need formal experience — just the emotional maturity and compassion to be present, patient, and observant.
This role could be ideal for:
Those with backgrounds in care, youth work, or SEND (desirable but not essential)
People with a calm, nurturing demeanour who want to support others in a meaningful way
Reflective individuals who value teamwork and want to grow personally and professionally
You’ll be joining a school that values its staff as much as its students. Ongoing training, team collaboration, and thoughtful leadership mean you’re never expected to “just get on with it” — you’re supported, encouraged, and heard.
Why Join Through Parker Smith Inclusion?
We specialise in SEND and take time to understand both the schools and the individuals we work with. With hundreds of five-star reviews and a track record of successful long-term matches, we’re here for the whole journey — not just the first placement.
Honest, supportive advice tailored to your goals
PAYE only – no umbrella companies or hidden costs
Long-term opportunities in well-regarded, specialist settings
Thoughtful, values-led recruitment that prioritises fit and fulfilment
Interested in finding out more?
Send your CV to Elisha at elisha@psinclusion.co.uk and we’ll help you explore if this is the right step for you.
Sometimes the most impactful work happens in the quietest spaces. If that speaks to you — we’d love to hear from you.

School Based Occupational Therapist
Kingston
South West London
£32,000 - £45,000
School Based Occupational Therapist
Kingston, South West London | Full-time | Permanent | £32,000 - £45,000| Term-time Only + 5 Weeks Holiday Work
Some schools talk about being “therapeutic”. This one lives and breathes it.
You’ll feel it the moment you walk through the door — a calm, welcoming environment where children who’ve struggled elsewhere finally feel safe enough to learn, play, and thrive. It’s a setting built around helping children with speech, language and communication needs, often alongside sensory processing and motor coordination challenges.
And they’re looking for a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to join their team.
What makes this different?
You won’t be juggling huge caseloads or trying to squeeze in therapy at the edges of a busy day. Here, therapy is fully integrated into the curriculum. You’ll be working closely with teachers, speech and language therapists, art therapists and support staff. You’ll have time and space to build proper relationships with your students and see the progress you’re helping them make.
You’ll mainly support Upper Primary and Secondary pupils (roughly ages 9–19), many of whom arrive with low confidence and big barriers. But over time, you’ll help them build life skills, independence and pride in what they can do — whether that’s handwriting, cutting with scissors, or learning to regulate their emotions.
What we’re looking for
HCPC-registered Paediatric Occupational Therapist
Comfortable supporting children with sensory and motor needs, Autism and/or communication difficulties
Calm, confident and collaborative – someone who enjoys working closely with other therapists and teaching/support staff
You don’t need years of experience, but you do need to care deeply about helping children feel safe, seen and successful
What you’ll get in return
A permanent, full-time role (Monday to Friday, 8:30–5:00)
Term-time working, with five weeks’ contribution during school holidays
Paid school holidays, generous CPD, and clinical supervision
Weekly free lunch, well-being allowance, and a healthcare cashback plan
A truly supportive team where your voice matters and your work is valued
This role offers the best of both worlds – the chance to grow your skills as a clinician while being part of something meaningful every day.
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.
Benefits of PS Inclusion supporting you in your Occupational Therapist role search:
Tailored School Matches – We carefully match you with schools that reflect your experience and goals
Exclusive Opportunities – Many of our roles are not advertised anywhere else
Expert Knowledge – We offer real insight into school culture, leadership and values
Transparent Pay Structure – All long-term roles are PAYE only, with no hidden umbrella deductions
Comprehensive Interview Support – From prep to placement, we’re with you
