Teaching Assistant

Job description

SEND Teaching Assistant – PMLD & Complex Needs | South Birmingham
£90–£105 per day | Full-Time | Long-Term Opportunity
Pay rates are dependent on experience, qualifications and suitability for the role, and may vary accordingly.

Not every achievement can be measured on paper. Sometimes a smile, a movement or a moment of connection means everything.

First For Education is looking for a compassionate, enthusiastic and dedicated SEND Teaching Assistant to support children and young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) within a specialist educational setting in South Birmingham.
This rewarding opportunity involves supporting pupils with complex physical disabilities, sensory impairments, communication challenges and additional care needs.

What we're looking for:

Experience supporting children or young people with SEND, PMLD or complex needs.
Understanding of sensory-based learning and alternative communication methods.
Confidence providing 1:1 and small-group support.
Willingness to assist with personal care and mobility needs where required.
A patient, empathetic and adaptable approach.
Ability to work closely with teachers, therapists and other support professionals. What First For Education offers:

Competitive daily rates of £90–£105.
Weekly PAYE payments.
Long-term opportunities within specialist education.
Access to CPD and professional development.
Dedicated consultant support.
£150 refer-a-friend scheme. You don't need to change the whole world to make a difference. Sometimes making one pupil's world a little better is enough.

If you're passionate about supporting young people with complex needs and celebrating every achievement, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today with First For Education.
