PMLD Specialist - Learning Support Assistant

Are you an experienced PMLD Learning Support Assistant looking for a new challenge? Aspire People are currently seeking devoted PMLD/SLD specialist support staff for an amazing Special Needs Secondary School in Oldbury. The school requires Learning Support Assistants to fully engage with their children and young people to develop and nurture positive relationships. This will be working on a 1-1 or small groups basis and you will be a source of support for pupils, ensuring they are motivated, happy and engaged. Being able to form positive relationships with both staff and pupils is imperative as you will have to work closely as a team. All children have an EHCP in place to support their learning needs.

To be successful in this role you will need a calm and empathetic nature, a resilient personality and be able to use your own initiative; health and safety procedures and the welfare of the children are paramount. Previous experience is advantageous, as the role will require patience and a high level of understanding to support the complex needs of these children. However, if you have a passion and desire to help and support children with additional needs, but no experience, we are happy to consider your application on an individual basis.

Aspire People is dedicated and passionate in helping to improve the education of SEND children across the West Midlands area; supporting local Special Needs Schools in finding the ideal staff that meet the needs of their school community. We are an ethical supply agency and pride ourselves on delivering a quality service to both our clients and candidates.

To be considered for the position above you will need to have the following minimum requirements:

• Ideally a qualification in Support Teaching and Learning
• An enhanced DBS check on the update service (or willing to apply for one)
• Experience of supporting pupils with children and young people with PMLD & SLD needs (desirable)

The school caters for children with a wide range of needs including AUTISM, MLD, PMLD, SLD Complex Health Needs. I am thrilled to work with them as the school truly care about the needs of their students and staff.

In return you will get from us:

• A highly skilled, dedicated consultant with an in-depth knowledge of all SEND
• Excellent rates of PAY!
• Access to free online training and CPD

I am keen to talk to PMLD/SLD Support Assistants in the Oldbury area who are interested in working with Aspire People. If you feel this position is for you, please apply above and I will be in touch.
