Job description

We are seeking a caring and dedicated Support Assistant to join a specialist school supporting pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD). This is a rewarding opportunity to work with pupils who have a range of complex learning, physical, sensory, and medical needs, helping them access learning and achieve their individual goals.

About the role

As a Support Assistant, you will provide personalised support to pupils throughout the school day, helping them to feel safe, included, and supported. Your role will include:

  • Providing one-to-one and small group support in the classroom and during personal care routines.
  • Supporting sensory activities, physical development, and communication strategies.
  • Encouraging pupils to build independence, confidence, and social skills.
  • Working closely with teachers, therapists, and other professionals to provide consistent support.
  • Helping to create a positive and structured environment where pupils can learn and develop.

What we are looking for

  • Experience supporting children or young people with SEND (experience with PMLD, complex needs, or non-verbal communication is desirable).
  • A patient, calm, and compassionate approach.
  • The ability to build positive relationships and support pupils with high levels of need.
  • A willingness to work as part of a supportive school team.

What we offer

  • Weekly pay through PAYE.
  • Free access to online CPD training, including specialist SEND and Thrive courses.
  • Support from a dedicated SEND consultant.
  • Long-term opportunities in schools where your work is valued.
  • The chance to develop your skills and progress within SEND education.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to make a real difference. Supporting pupils with PMLD can be challenging, but seeing their progress and being part of their development makes every day rewarding.

Apply today to join a team where your contribution will be recognised and where you can have a positive impact on pupils’ lives.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.

We undertake safeguarding checks on all workers in accordance with the DfE statutory guidance ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, this may also include an online search as part of our due diligence on shortlisted applicants.
