SEND Teacher – PMLD & Complex Needs
Location: Barking and Dagenham, East London
Start Date: September 2025 (Permanent)
Salary: Inner London MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance
A quiet revolution is happening in this school.
It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t follow trends. But every day, behind its calm doors, it changes lives through dignity, structure, connection, and care.
We’re partnering with a remarkable school in Barking and Dagenham to find a SEND teacher who doesn’t just “tick boxes,” but wants to do real work that matters, with children who rely on us to make education accessible, joyful, and deeply human.
This isn’t just another SEND teaching role. This is about teaching with purpose in a space built to support pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), complex medical and sensory needs, and communication differences. Every detail in the school has been designed with intention. Nothing is accidental.
What Makes This School Different?
Designed for the learners, not the league tables
Sensory rooms. Accessible classrooms. Therapy-integrated learning. Everything exists to meet the needs of the pupils—not to impress an Ofsted inspector.
You’ll never be the only adult in the room
With a stable, skilled team of therapists, support staff, and leaders who genuinely listen, you’ll be part of a system that shares responsibility. Collaboration isn’t optional here—it’s the heartbeat of the school.
Training that actually means something
You won’t be handed a CPD pack and left to it. Whether you’re an experienced SEND teacher or stepping into this setting for the first time, the development is tailored, supportive, and ongoing.
Wellbeing isn’t an afterthought
This is a team that looks after each other. There’s no burnout-as-a-badge-of-honour here. Just balance, respect, and a leadership team that sees people before policies.
Are you...
QTS qualified (or equivalent)
A grounded, reflective teacher who believes all behaviour is communication
Experienced with alternative communication tools and methods like Makaton and PECS, and sensory integration strategies
A calm person with a creative approach to planning for highly individualised learning journeys
In Return, You’ll Get:
A permanent, full-time post in a genuinely inclusive school
Specialist resources and expert teams to support you
Ongoing training and development based on your needs, not a one-size-fits-all checklist
A long-term career partner in Parker Smith Inclusion—people who get SEND and value your work
Some schools say “every child matters.”
This one shows you what it looks like when that’s really true.
