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.

SEND Teacher – PMLD and Complex Needs
Location: Barking and Dagenham, East London
Start Date: September 2025 (Permanent)
Salary: Inner London MPS or UPS plus SEN Allowance
Where purpose meets practice
In one of East London’s most thoughtful specialist schools, meaningful education is not just a slogan — it is the daily reality.
We are working with a forward thinking, quietly exceptional school in Barking and Dagenham that is looking for a committed SEND teacher to join their team this September. This is a full time, permanent role supporting learners with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), complex needs, and diverse communication profiles.
This is not a typical classroom — and that is exactly the point
You will not find box ticking or behaviour charts masquerading as support here. Instead, you will be teaching in a setting where every space, every system, every moment is designed for connection, communication, and care.
What sets this school apart?
A design with dignity in mind
From sensory integration to communication aids, the learning environment has been purpose built for students with the most complex needs. Education here is holistic, therapeutic, and deeply human.
Collaboration that actually works
You will be surrounded by a strong, stable network of teaching assistants, therapists, and senior leaders who share the load and listen. You will never feel like you are doing it all alone.
Professional growth with depth
Whether you are new to this type of setting or bring years of SEND experience, your development will be meaningful — grounded in practice, tailored to you, and never an afterthought.
A culture of care for everyone
This is a place where staff wellbeing is not just talked about — it is embedded in the ethos. From realistic workloads to responsive leadership, you will be supported to thrive as well as teach.
Who are we looking for?
A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with a passion for inclusive education
Someone who recognises that behaviour is communication — and approaches it with patience, empathy, and structure
Skilled in or open to learning alternative communication strategies (such as Makaton or PECS) and sensory based approaches
Calm, creative, and committed to truly individualised learning pathways
In return, you will receive:
A permanent teaching role in a high trust, high support specialist school
Access to exceptional resources and multidisciplinary expertise
Continuing professional development that is ongoing, personalised, and practically useful
A long term recruitment partner in Parker Smith Inclusion, who understand the sector and value your commitment
This is more than a job
It is a chance to make education work for children who need us most — and to be part of a team that is quietly, powerfully changing lives.
