Job Description:

 

  • PMLD TA
  • Secondary age group
  • Lambeth Special Needs school
  • £80 per day (PAYE)
  • Temp to Perm contract

A specialist SEND school for secondary aged pupils with Autism and PMLD/Complex Needs are looking for a PMLD Teaching Assistant to join them on a full-time contract basis for the academic year.

The Role

You will be working with children aged between 11-16 years olds; each with statements of Special Education Needs. Most of the children you will be working with have very limited communication skills, and some are completely non-verbal. You will be assisting more than one class, supporting several children across the school, rather than working 1:1 with any particular child. To be eligible to apply for this position, you must have experience supporting pupils with PMLD (Profound Multiple Learning Difficulties) and with their personal care needs.

You will need to be available to start immediately, as well as being able to commit to working full school hours, 5 days per week. You must have a good command of numeracy and literacy, as this is especially important when supporting pupils with limited communication skills.

The school are looking for a learning support assistant with the following experience:

  • PMLD: 1 year
  • Teaching Assistant: 6 months - 1 year experience
  • PECS (any experience desirable)

The School 

This specialist secondary school is for children aged 11 to 16 with severe learning difficulties (SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), Autism (ASD) and complex medical needs. The school provides an outstanding learning environment that meets the needs of all pupils, while empowering and inspiring them to achieve their full potential. There is an established and dedicated staff team at the school who are committed to supporting both the children and their families. You will have access to regular training and development opportunities within your role.
