ARP SEN Learning Support Assistant
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
Interested in finding out more?

£85-£100
Job Title: PMLD Support Assistant
Location: Barking and Dagenham
Pay: £85–£100 per day (PAYE)
Contract: Full-time | Term-time only | Long-term opportunity
“True connection is built through presence, patience, and understanding — even in the most complex moments.”
In a specialist school in the heart of Barking and Dagenham, no two days are the same. This is a setting that supports pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), including complex medical and sensory needs. Many pupils are non-verbal, use wheelchairs, and require high levels of care and individualised support.
The environment can vary — some classes are calm and sensory-focused, while others can be more physically and emotionally demanding. What remains consistent is the school’s commitment to every pupil’s dignity, safety, and emotional wellbeing.
Here, communication may come through a glance, a movement, or a sound. Your role is to notice, interpret, and respond — building trust through consistency, empathy, and a calm, grounded approach.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Supporting pupils one-to-one or in small groups, following detailed education and care plans
Engaging in sensory, therapeutic, and play-based activities tailored to each child’s needs
Using alternative communication strategies such as PECS, visual timetables, and assistive technology
Assisting with personal care, including feeding, toileting, and hoisting (full training provided)
Helping pupils to feel safe, understood, and supported — especially in moments of emotional difficulty
What We’re Looking For:
No previous SEND experience required — just empathy, patience, and a willingness to learn
Backgrounds in care, support work, or healthcare are an advantage
Resilient, observant, and emotionally mature individuals who can remain composed in challenging situations
Team players who are reflective, adaptable, and committed to inclusive education
What You’ll Find at This School:
A warm, inclusive school community with a strong sense of purpose
Supportive leadership and a collaborative team environment
A culture that values professional development and celebrates every small success
Why Join Through Parker Smith Inclusion?
We’re SEND specialists with a values-led, people-first approach
PAYE only – no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
Long-term placements with ongoing support from a knowledgeable, trusted team
Honest, relationship-focused recruitment with your wellbeing at its centre

Location: Barking and Dagenham
Pay: £100–£130 per day (PAYE)
Contract: Full-time | Temp-to-perm | Flexible start date
“Inclusion isn’t an initiative here — it’s part of how this school lives and breathes every day.”
Within a welcoming primary school in Barking and Dagenham, there’s an Additional Resourced Provision (ARP) designed to support children with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and associated needs. Far from being an afterthought, this ARP is an integral part of school life — a space where difference is understood, celebrated, and supported with real care.
The school is now looking for a confident, experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) who can lead small group learning, deliver targeted interventions, and support children with autism in a compassionate and consistent way. This is a role where your expertise will be recognised — and your presence will make a daily difference.
Your Role Will Include:
Delivering structured, small group and 1:1 interventions to support communication, engagement and learning
Adapting support in line with EHCPs, using visual aids, routines, and sensory strategies
Assisting pupils with emotional regulation and sensory needs using child-centred techniques
Building strong, trusting relationships with pupils through patience, encouragement and routine
Collaborating with teachers, therapists and families to maintain a joined-up, consistent approach
Confidently stepping in to cover lessons when needed, ensuring stability and continuity for learners
We’d Love to Hear from You If:
You have at least six months of experience working as a HLTA, ideally within a SEND or ARP setting
You’ve supported children with autism and complex needs and can tailor your approach to suit individuals
You are reflective, proactive and always striving to improve your practice
You communicate with warmth, clarity, and calm — especially when situations are challenging
You want to be part of a school that shares your values and supports your growth
What This School Offers:
A vibrant and genuinely inclusive ethos
A well-resourced Additional Resourced Provision that’s central to the school community
Strong leadership that actively supports and invests in their support staff
Clear opportunities for progression and further training in specialist education
A collaborative, kind and forward-thinking team culture
Why Parker Smith Inclusion?
We’re SEND specialists, not generalist recruiters — and that makes a difference. We work closely with inclusive schools to connect skilled professionals with roles that offer purpose, growth, and a chance to truly belong.
Honest, people-first support throughout your journey
Access to exclusive SEND opportunities across London
PAYE only – no umbrella deductions or hidden fees
Genuine advice from professionals who understand the sector inside out
