Description

SEND Teaching Assistant – Secondary School (PMLD & ASD)
Location: SE6, South East London
Hours: Full-time, Monday – Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm

Axcis Education is proud to be working in partnership with a dedicated SEND secondary school in the SE6 area, which caters for students with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The school is currently seeking an experienced and enthusiastic SEND Teaching Assistant to join their supportive team. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people with complex needs.

You will be working closely with a small group of students who require additional support with their learning, communication, and daily care routines. The role will involve supporting pupils with ASD, PMLD, and behaviours that challenge. Some students will also require personal care, including assistance with feeding and toileting, so applicants must be comfortable and confident in delivering this aspect of care.

The Ideal Candidate Will Be:
Calm, patient, and nurturing in their approach

Resilient and confident in managing challenging or confrontational behaviour

Proactive, resourceful, and able to adapt to the individual needs of each student

A strong team player with good communication skills

Experienced in working with young people with SEND in a school or care-based setting

Open to performing personal care tasks where required

This is a fantastic class described by staff as a delight to work with, offering a warm and inclusive environment. The school has excellent facilities and a highly experienced leadership team, who are committed to professional development and providing high-quality education for all learners.

Trial days are being arranged immediately, so don’t miss this chance to be part of a truly special school community.
