Job description
Enthusiastic Learning Support Assistants are required for a brilliant PMLD (Profound & Multiple Learning Disability) School in the heart of Chester.
This role is to start at the beginning of September after the summer holidays.
This school supports young people with various needs including those with severe learning disabilities & mobility issues, aged between 2-19 across 2x sites.
You will be required to support children with PMLD on a 1-1 basis and administer personal care.

You will also be working alongside medical staff in certain classrooms, who are there to provide care for students with complex medical needs.
Experience within education (teacher, teaching assistant etc) is not mandatory, and the school are particularly interested in those with experience in the care sector.
You must be comfortable with personal care, and have a knowledge and understanding around autism and complex needs.
