Step Into a Role Where Every Small Gesture Creates Ripples
Do you understand that communication isn't always verbal, and progress isn't always measured in grades? Academics Agency is looking for a thoughtful and physically resilient PMLD Teaching Assistant to join a specialist primary team.
What You'll Gain:
* Rewarding Daily Rate: £92.56 - £110 per day, reflecting the specialist care, manual handling knowledge, and emotional steadiness you bring.
* Term-Time Only Schedule: Work during school terms only, giving you extended breaks to recharge, attend appointments, or spend time with family.
* Free Specialist Training: Access complimentary CPD workshops, including certified moving and handling, epilepsy awareness, and safeguarding.
* Refer & Receive: Recommend another professional who joins our team and earn a £75 Love2Shop voucher through our referral scheme.
Who You Are:
You are calm, observant, and deeply attentive to non-verbal cues. The ideal candidate will have:
* Hands-on experience supporting individuals with profound and multiple learning difficulties (in schools, residential care, respite settings, or similar environments).
* A gentle yet confident approach to personal care, hoisting, postural management, and using assistive communication tools (PECS, eye gaze, switches).
* A genuine understanding that small responses-a blink, a smile, a changed breathing pattern-are powerful milestones.
* An active Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one).
* Two relevant professional references confirming your patience, reliability, and safeguarding awareness.
