Looking for a role where every moment genuinely matters? We’re supporting a brilliant PMLD school that needs calm, caring, and confident Teaching Assistants to join them on a daily supply basis. If you’re someone who brings patience, warmth, and a steady pair of hands, you’ll fit right in.

What your day could look like

  • Supporting pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities

  • Helping with communication, sensory activities, and structured routines

  • Working closely with teachers and therapists to create a safe, nurturing space

  • Bringing positivity and reassurance to pupils who rely on consistency and trust

  • Using your initiative, kindness, and calm presence to make each day run smoothly

What the school is looking for

  • Experience in SEND settings, ideally PMLD or complex needs

  • A caring, empathetic approach, especially during personal care and sensory sessions

  • Someone who can slot into a routine, stay calm under pressure, and be genuinely present

  • A team player who understands the importance of communication and collaboration

Why work with Protocol Education

  • Choose your days and keep your work-life balance in check

  • Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies

  • Access to free online CPD, including Thrive training

  • Friendly consultants who actually listen, not just “fill the shift”

  • A range of SEND settings where your skills will be valued

If you’re ready to support a school that does incredible work every single day, we’d love to hear from you. Your kindness and patience could make the world of difference to a pupil who needs it most.
